39 Days and Counting....

39 Days and Counting.... on PhotoPeach
Day 39 and counting! We are almost done with our first nine weeks of school. Wow! Time flies when you are learning and having fun! Last week during our Skills block we wrote about being stranded on an island and the 10 things we would take with us…

 Cruise Ship Owner, Pet Store Owner, Firefighter, Math Teacher, Artist were some of the responses. Please ask you student about our daily morning Skills Block.

In Science we are continuing our study of soil, we planted Lima beans to see which type of soil would be the best for the Lima bean to grow and we tested each soil with water to see what happens when we pour water on the soil.
The different soils apart of our study are Clay, Loam and Sandy Soil. The students are excited to see how the Lima beans are growing.
We took another visit to our school garden to take down our broccoli and cabbage. Patiently waiting on the harvest!!

Thank you to all the parents who attended our Math Night. We appreciate all your support and we hope you walked away feeling great about our Math workshop and strategies. Enjoy some snapshots of our week!
