We enjoyed my personal rock collection, and those from our Science lab. So interesting!

We learned about landforms and they used playdoh to make their favorites. We finished our little books about our families and they enjoyed sharing them. We had a fun STEM activity last week. The students had to build a hideout to hide a turkey! One of our wonderful kindergarten teachers shared her collection of Native American artifacts with us.

Thanksgiving Feast The students made headbands and we decorated for the feast! The students got into circles and shook the cream to make "butter." Some Dulles High School seniors joined us to present their program by Junior Achievement. One of our presenters was a former 1st grade student of mine! She looked through her phone and found a photo of her in 1st grade with Scottie!

It's beginning to look a lot like Thanksgiving! Check out these creative turkeys in disguise! In Science, we've been studying force and motion. We tried to move our bodies in different ways outside to see which way was fastest and slowest. In Math, we've been learning how to do fact families. We made some fact family houses that are on display in the hallway. We rolled cars in the hallway to explore the concept of motion and friction. Then the students worked in teams to develop ramps. We finished our tree poem books and did some leaf rubbings. Our study of soil began with investigating and predicting what we think we'd find. We did further investigations in the Science Lab. The teachers provided a wonderful fall feast to thank our school custodians and cafeteria workers. Our class made cards for them and it was heartwarming to deliver them!
We worked on pronouns all week. We did a guessing game each day. We made storytelling puppets after reading There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly Each day we had a visit and a little exercise and lesson with our Apex Fundraiser crew. The students enjoyed my map collection. They recognized features on these maps after working on our map lessons. We had a blast at the Apex GLOW dance party! Thank you to all of those able to make it out for Math & Science Night! Our Veterans Day program is always very meaningful. We especially enjoyed a visit from our former Librarian, Mrs. Sanchez, who was our guest speaker.
We enjoyed learning about trees this week. We did some informational writing, and also an imaginative story about a magic leaf. Red Ribbon Week allowed a lot of activities with dressing up each day. This was hat day! The 50th day of school! Pajama Day! Storybook Characters! We enjoyed the parade and seeing all of the cool outfits. We read a funny story about ghosts, then did a STEM activity to decorate our ghosts. Learning is a Journey! Look at our explorers and adventurers! We've had daily visits from the Apex fundraiser crew. If you haven't registered yet, head over to the website. We explored outside with compasses this week.
