Peep Project

Our students "adopted" a Peep!

For our STEM challenge, students were asked to create a recess toy with a plastic bag. Some students shared what their product looked like!

We had a visitor do magic tricks related to math. It was called the "Magical Math Assembly."

Because our school reached our reading goal, Mr. Horst dressed as Barbie and students poured pizza ingredients on top of him!

Here are some pictures of some of the activities we did to get toys out of Al's Toy Barn.

Christmas

Gingerbread Houses

We had a fun movie party! We watched the Grinch.

Fifth grade students from the Intermediate School created Christmas stories. They read the stories to our class!

balloons over broadway

We read "Balloons Over Broadway" by Melissa Sweet. It is a story about Tony Sarg, a man known for creating the large balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We created our own balloons and there is a video at the end!

We learned today that green balloons don't work well in front of a green screen 😅

In science, we learned about the movement of water in rivers. We created models with partners.

We created turkeys this week in science. We colored the turkeys and used classroom materials to watch them gobble down the path!

I apologize for not getting a picture of everyone - we were short on time.

Halloween party

Building a broom

After reading "Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson, students were challenged with creating their own broom using straws and tape (pumpkin was used as the characters).

Students were challenged with flipping water bottles containing candy corn. The goal was to see exactly how much candy corn was needed in the water bottle.

Homecoming

Fun run

The PTO hosted a fundraiser this year. It was a Fun Run!

Stem challenge

Mrs. Gosse, our district's STEM teacher, visited us. We did a project on saving a "Mouse" from the bottom of a "hole." This aligned with the story Help! A Story a Friendship, that we read this week.
