Class Picture

Our class group pictures are in and will be sent home on Monday in your child's take home folder.  (I took a picture of one of them with my phone, so that is why you see a glare.)  They are a great looking group!

KET Young Writers

These students participated in the KET Young Writers contest where they wrote and illustrated their own short stories.  I am so proud of them for choosing to participate in the contest.  Their stories were very entertaining and imaginative!

Ms. Wanda Visits Our Class

Ms. Wanda from the Soil Conservation Office came to visit this afternoon to discuss the importance of Earth Day and had a fun task to complete with the students that reviewed the life cycle of a plant.  We appreciate all our community members who volunteer their time to come speak to our students!

Vascular and Nonvascular

Friday morning...

Friday afternoon...

Today, we started an experiment to further discuss vascular and nonvascular plants.  This experiement demonstrates how liquids flow through the tubes of the stem up to the leaves and flower.  I can't wait to see what the flowers will look like when we return on Monday!

Measuring Angles

This morning we worked on measuring and then creating angles using protractors.  Our first task was to use a protractor to create specific angles.  Once students had mastered that concept, we took it a step further to create an illustration, realistic or abstract, and then they had to idenitfy the angles in it and label them.  Take a look at a couple of their work samples.

Stars in Studio 214

Here is a class picture from today with all twenty-five students present!  I always get a little sentimental as the school year nears the end.  They are a great group of kids and I have enjoyed having them in class!
