Bubble Art

Last week we did bubble art. The kids had a lot of fun with this activity. We had two bowls of bubbles and paint. I would blow the bubbles for the students and they would pop the bubbles on their papers. When the bubbles popped they left a painted bubble. It was a lot of fun!

Pumpkin Plants Week 4

We moved our seeds that have not sprouted to the window. Hopefully a little extra sun will help them along! The others are ready to go outside!

Road To Success Assembly

This week we had our Road To Success assembly. It was a fun way to celebrate the end of testing! I am so proud of our class and the minutes we read!!! The students LOVED the magician and his funny magic tricks! I think it was their favorite part! At the end we all got a yummy cookie to celebrate our success.

Field Trip

We had a fabulous time on our field trip. Luckily the rain didn't come...a little sunshine would have been nice!


We learned all about the food chain. To help us understand more we became our own food chain. It was hard work passing the "energy popcorn."




The kids LOVED looking for insects in the pond water. You can't imagine how many tiny creatures they found!


We were looking for baby ducks, but the dead fish was way more exciting!

Writing Instructions

This week we have been learning how to write instructions. Today we each wrote our own instructions for how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Here are a few of the sandwiches we made with our recipes. Not the outcome we were looking for!!! This helped us to see how we need to include each step, be specific and put our instructions in order. Luckily our class came up with some great instructions the second time around that helped us make some good sandwiches!
