Let's catch up on the happenings before and after Christmas break!
The All-Stars researched how different countries around the world celebrate Christmas.
After researching, they wrote a report, created a poster and presented what they learned about their country.
As part of a STEM project, we made salt dough Christmas ornaments. This was of course messy and a lot of fun!
Students were challenged to make their very own switches that would work in an electrical circuit. They came up with a lot of clever designs!
Testing to see if their switch works...
We had a few students who accepted the challenge to memorize the Gettysburg Address!
It was so great to hear the students recite such a beautiful speech! I am very proud of them.
We had a lot of fun at our Christmas party, thanks to all the moms who helped out!
We played Christmas BINGO, decorated cookies and played lots of fun minute to win it games!
Lots of fun, treats and laughter! Our room mom organized such a fun time!
Get the jingle bells out of the box!
To end our unit in electricity the students had to build an alarm that would solve a problem that a girl named, Emily, had. She lived on a farm and continuously would forget to refill the water trough for her sheep. She needed to make an alarm that would light up and make a noise when the water trough was empty!
As you can see they have a trough (paper cup) that is on a teeter totter type of device. The covered it with aluminum foil...good thinking!
They only had an hour to make their alarm, but most of them were able to accomplish the task on time!
A lot of improving and brainstorming went on.
Now we are moving on to.....Fractions and Heredity! Term 3 is going to be very fun!
