Super Power, Science, and Math

Students have been earning capes to wear during reading when they are caught using their reading "Super Powers".  We have learned about the following powers:  pointer power, picture power, sound power, partner power, reread power, snap word power, and persistence power.  I hope the students are using these powers at home too.  We will start bringing home books we have read after the holidays to show off our great reading. 

In science we have building ramps and testing with different balls made from different materials and testing to see what happens when we tilt the ramp up higher.

In math, we have been building different shapes and learning about each of their characteristics.  Have your child look around your house to see what shapes they can spot.

Super Powers in Reading

We have so many readers in the Butterfly Room!!! (I wish I had got a picture of each student.  They were all so excited to use their "Super Powers".

First Ones in the Snow!!!

We were the lucky class to be outside first this morning.  The kids had an awesome time playing in the snow making snowmen and snow angels.  There was great teamwork shown for making the snowmen. 

Reminder:  Students will be going out twice a day for recess as long as the windchill is above 15 degrees.  Some students had to stay on the blacktop because they didn't have snow pants and a few didn't have gloves or mittens.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Showcase

November is Flying By

We have been working on lots of turkey and Thanksgiving projects over the last few weeks.  Students have been using lots of fine motor skills for these projects.  If you would like to see some of the work we have been doing feel free to come in on Friday at 2:15 to listen to a few turkey songs and see projects the children have made and other work we have been doing.
