Small Solids

During science we have been learning about solids and liquids. We know that solids stay the same shape and size unless you do something to them. We know that liquids take the shape of whatever container they are in.

Today, we explored small solids. It was interesting to see how they seemed to act like liquids at times. After further investigation, we discovered that they were really all small solid particles.

Spirit Day

We had lots of school spirit on Friday! First, we dressed in our sportswear to cheer on the Packers for this weekend's big game. Then we found out that we earned our second Golden Tray award for doing such a great job in the cafeteria. Way to go!!

Snowy Day Reading

On Tuesday's snowy day, we took some time to read books all about snow!

Liquids

In Science we have been exploring liquids. The kids have learned that liquids take the shape of whatever container they are in and that the surface of a liquid is always level.

Organizing & Classifying

During math on Monday and Tuesday we explored how things are organized and grouped. The kids even worked together to re-organzie some things in our classroom.

Tower Challenge

One of our FOSS Science investigations this week involved exploring solids. The kids were challenged to create a free standing tower. Take a look at our "engineers" at work!

Everyday Math Explorations

This week in Math we had an Exploration Day. We participated in three different stations and worked with comparing numbers, weighing objects with a pan scale, and counting large numbers of pennies. What a fun way to practice our math skills!
