Hands-On Day- Plants and Animals
Today in Studio 214, it was hands-on day! We completed six different stations in science, which took all afternoon. The pictures of some things we completed are below. We used hand-held microscopes to look at plant and animal cells. We also cleaned feathers that were covered in oil. Students had five minutes to clean it in order to keep their bird alive. Most birds survived! Another station we completed focused on bird adaptions with their beaks and students tested different types of "beaks" to see why animals adapt to their environments to survive.
Happy Earth Day!
We celebrated Earth Day today in Studio 214 by planting a tree on our school campus. In collaboration with our local Conservation Office, we planted a pear tree. We can't wait to watch it grow and produce fruit!
Main Idea "In a Bag"
Today is hands-on day so for reading, we have been studying main idea with supporting details. We used ten paper bags and stuck a passage inside, with a question attached to the outside. Students rotated to each bag and worked with partners to read the passage and answer the questions together. They had to provide proof from the passage to justify their responses.
The Science Guy
The Science Guy visited CCES yesterday and boy, did we have fun with some cool experiments! He did some experiements with open and closed circuits, force and motion, and inertia with our students, just to name a few topics. We learned so much!

Sweet Kids!
My kids are so sweet and thoughtful! Last Friday, one of my students made my son a crayon box and brought it to me to give to him! Ryan loved it and I just had to share because it was so kind!
