It’s Fire Prevention Week! We had some very special guests come and speak to us today on fire prevention. Ask your child to tell you something they learned.

This week we’ve been talking about different types of matter. Today, we wrapped our lesson up with a fun experiment involving root beer floats!! We all had a great time! Ask your child about the experiment and what happened when we poured the root beer (liquid) over the ice cream (solid)!

Great job, Summer Readers!! These students participated in the summer reading program and received a t-shirt for being super readers!!

Parents…Wow!! Thank you for all your support! I appreciate your willingness to pitch in and help our classroom. We got a ton of treasure box prizes! We’ll be good for a LONG time now!!

Here’s a peak of our classroom from this week:

This is a glimpse of some students hard at work! We have some using finger flashlights to track their reading and some using whisper phones to hear their reading!

Our challenge for Maker Space this week was to build a vehicle. Look at our end results!

*If your child isn’t pictured, look for them in next weeks post! We don’t have time for everyone to rotate here each week, but we do make sure each child gets to build the task card before it changes.

Our class took a trip down to our pond today. Our job was to write the things that we were hearing, seeing, smelling, and feeling.  We left out “taste” on purpose! Our 4 senses helped us to create stories in our mind so that we could be better at putting the words on paper!

**Reminder: No School on Monday

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that brought supplies for our “Maker Station”!  We appreciate it so much! We go through these supplies quickly, so if you’re wanting to send something–it’s never too late!

We’ve been working on doubles! Check out our rap that we worked on in class to help us recall our facts quickly!
