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!

Winter Party

We had a wonderful time at our Winter Party! We played pin the hat on the snowman and a snowball toss game. For our craft we made an adorable snowman that shows the temperature. We also ate lots of great treats. Thank you to all of the parents who helped out! (Check out our crazy hats and hair too!)

Blankets for the Sojourner Truth House

Today, we worked with our fifth grade buddies to make almost 30 blankets for the people at the Sojourner Truth House. The Sojourner Truth House is a community resource and day shelter in Milwaukee for homeless and at-risk women and children. Thank you to everyone who donated fabric, let us use your scissors and helped with the project. We enjoyed spending time with our buddies and it felt great knowing we were helping others!

Using a Tape Measure

During math, we learned how to use a tape measure to find the length of curved objects. We practiced by measuring body parts with a partner!

Follow the Path

This week during Word Study, we practiced recognizing high frequency words quickly. Partners had a great time learning while playing Follow the Path!
