Good job 7b and 22t! Mrs. H. is very proud of your hard work!

Math Under Construction

We have been studying 2D and 3D shapes in math. We need to be able to identify, describe and construct them. We had lots of fun constructing 3D shapes with straws and clay.

 

 


 

What Have We Been Up To?

Well first of all, we sang for the tea today. The kids were divided into small groups that each got to sing  a verse. As you may be able to tell by the picture below, it was the group of boys in the middle that were singing their verse. Thanks to Mr. Burkowsky for taking our picture.

In Math we are working on geometry. We had fun with our buddies working with tangram shapes to make different figures and pictures.

On Tuesday we enjoyed watching the water outside running, running, running. It was neat because we are studying air and water. We made canals in the snow to help the water run to the sewer. 

       

Dirt Bike Course, Science Experiments and BREAKING NEWS!

I was given some info about a "Dirt Bike" course for kids that looks fun. It is offered to kids ages 8 and up by the Offroad Syndicate Mountain Bike Club. If you are interested for your child the link is below:http://www.offroadsyndicate.com/youth

We have been doing some science experiments involving air. We have made a homemade barometer and are watching the air pressure. Sure enough it dropped a bit today which means snow! We also did an experiment to show how hot air rises. Then we discussed how this applies to the working of a hot air balloon. I always try to relate the things we learn to real life applications.

BREAKING NEWS!
Our class will be performing at the Spring Tea for Seniors and Volunteers!  This will be on April 23 (1:15 - 2:30). I'm not sure right now about what time we will be performing. If I get that info I will let you know. You are invited to come and watch your child perform. All family members that have volunteered this year or are planning to volunteer are invited to this tea.

100 Nights of Reading!
