Catching up on some events so far this year...

Our first field trip this year was to the Mythbusters Exhibit at the Fort Worth Science Museum.  The kids had a great time exploring some myths and busting them! They even did an experiment with a parent- what a good sport!

This is our "Sock" it to drugs from Red Ribbon Week.

 The class loved working on their Native American tribes to share thier learning with the rest of the class.  They made artifacts to show how thier tribed lived.  I was impressed with all they did!

We have Chromebooks this year (we share with another class).  I am loving the ability to use a computer for so many different tasks and they are too!

We have visited the science lab many times already this year- this is just a snapshot of some of the learning taking place.

We love our buddy time and for this day we helped them measure pumpkins and complete a sink or float activity.  Everyone had a grand time!

Two Great Field Trips

We have had so much these past few weeks!



We went on a field trip to see Kids Who Care: Deep in the Heart. It was more than wonderful!  After that we had lunch in the park- it was a perfect day!

 

 

We had a great science experiment with mixtures and solutions. 

 

We also went to the Dallas Aboretum. I can't wait to go back to that amazing place! We studied the Wet Lands then went on education island to observe and test the water in the wetlands.  It was another beautiful day full of learning experiences!

 

We've been busy!

 We have been busy in class!!  These are some of the reading strategies we have been working on in class.  It is my goal  to get them to think about their thinking to make them more aware of what they are thinking about when they read.

I love this picture of my class reading to their buddies!  We have flashlight Friday every Friday so we can read with our flashlights.  This past Friday, we didn't have our buddy time as previously scheduled, so we invited them to come during our flashlight Friday.  They all had a great time!

The following two pictures of our class during our science lab activity.  The students had to figure out what solution would get oil out of a feather.  This was after showing them the damage oil spills have to the environment.  They had a great time using the scientific method!!

I wanted to end with a picture of how generous our PTO and PIC Parents are!  We were all given these cool bags with first aid gear.  I can't tell you how loved we are at this school!  I appreciate these parents so much!!
