S.T.E.M.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math! In our classroom we enjoy putting all of these into our learning! We have many opportunities to put our thinking into action and observe how and why things work. After learning about gravity and forces we designed roller coasters and competed against our classmates for the best creation. We tested and redesigned our rolling systems until we were confident we used the gravitational pull and slants in a way that made our marble travel the longest.

Writers Fair

We got to show off our writing at the writers fair. Our animal research book and our home writing project were on display. We are very proud of our books!

Sharing Our Research

We chose an animal that we would like to learn more about. We used many resources to learn what our animal looks like, how it behaves, what it eats, and their life cycle. We created an informational book about our animal and used many text features. We shared our learning with the class with a PowerPoint.

Twice a year our school has a Scholastic Book Fair. The students are eager to see new titles in their favorite series and brand new characters. This year we fell in love with a dog named Ranger who travels back in time. We are grateful to our volunteers who bring the book fair to our school.

Who Will Be Our Class President?

We ran for class president. We had to write speeches to tell about our traits that would make us a great president. We created colorful campaign posters. It was a lot of fun! Our friend Vinny won and was president of the day!

We are learning the scientific method in class. The students are also learning how scientist think and create lab reports to share their findings. The students are learning about balance and motion. They are making hypothesis on how to create designs that create rotational motion this week and recording their findings.
