New Inquiries

It has been a while since an inquiry has taken off in our class. This week we took off on some of our students' big blocks creation: a ship! Here's what happened:

Putting the treasure box together with some tape.

Finding materials to add to our treasure box and ship.

Putting the sail together.

Showing our friend what we could add to our ship from the book.

Adding details to the side of our ship to add the rope.

Things we thought should go into the treasure box: tools and pom poms.

Winter Weather is Here!

The winter weather is here! 

Lots of students are coming to school with hats, mittens, snowpants and boots! We are happy to see you dressing warmly. Please remember that we will be going outside most days unless it is extremely cold out. 

Here's a look at our class on the first snowy school day.

Making snowballs and...smelling them. What did they smell like? 

Gathering snow into a pile.

Look! I made this myself.

Somehow our little girls made this gigantic snowball. 

Scientists In the School!

On Thursday, a scientist visited our class to explore our 5 senses. Thank you to all of our volunteers who came out to help us! It was a pleasure having you and we couldn't have done it without you!!

Look at some of the things we did.

Mr Potato head teaches us what the 5 senses are: Hearing, Sight, Smell, Touch and Taste 

2 of our moms at the Hearing Station. What's inside this box?
