Matter Changes!

The students love this science unit. On Wednesday, they learned that matter changes. They took a piece of paper and cut it, tore it, and bent it-which is a physical change. Yesterday, we made chocolate chip muffins to show how matter changes. After baking the muffins changed size, color, and texture! It sure is fun learning about solids, liquids, and gases.

Information Writing

The students worked hard these last three weeks writing information books.  They chose a topic they knew a lot about and wanted to teach others about too! The students will be bringing home their booklets today. Here's a few pictures of the booklets:

Powell Symphony Hall

The students enjoyed our trip to Powell Hall yesterday. They were all dressed up and excited!

Jump Rope for Heart

During gym class today, the students had a jump rope contest. All the students worked really hard! Here are the winners:

Good job girls!

Here's another picture of some hard working jumpers!

Cursive Handwriting

The students are learning to write in cursive. They're excited and proud of their hard work. We've been practicing lowercase e, u, w, i and l. 

Social Studies Review and Test

We reviewed Unit 4 today in class. Your child should have brought home his/her Social Studies book to review at home. The Social Studies test is on Thursday, January 29th. 

Money, Money, Money!

The students are learning to count money. We started with dimes, nickels and pennies and some students are still struggling a bit. Tomorrow we will begin counting groups of coins with quarters too. Please have your child practice counting groups of coins each night so they can improve their money counting skills. Also have your child practice calling the coins by their names not their values. Thanks for your help at home with this life skill.
