Week Eleven - Gravity

r

Dear Parents,

This week we learned about gravity.  What comes up must come down!!!  We watched a BrainPopJr. video and read a book about gravity.  We participated in some hands-on activities such as block tower building and airplane flying contests.  We used straws to blow cotton balls across the finish line and raced our cars down wooden block ramps.  We loved the cup catapults but these will need tweaking next year as they kept falling apart!  
Thank you to all parents for coming in for the Fall Conference.  It was a pleasure to share good news with you regarding your child! Thank you, too, for our delicious lunches all week!  What a wonderful and generous treat!  

Enjoy your week!

Motion - Week Ten

Dear Parents,

Students enjoyed learning about motion and force and push and pull this week.  We also got to visit our in-school field trip with Nana Nature. She taught us about force, of course!  We then got to hear a presentation from WellStar on healthy food choices.  Our instructor gave us a wonderful placemat to help us remember to eat healthy!  Finally, we got to participate in Jump Rope for Heart.  What a busy week we had!

Sincerely,

Christopher Columbus - Weeks Nine and Ten

Dear Parents,

Students had two great short weeks learning about Columbus and his attempt to discover the new world.  We made our own boat mini books about Columbus as well as a necklace to help us retell the story.  We met with our book buddies and they helped us complete a needs and wants page on the things Columbus and his men took on their voyage.  We enjoyed some fun in the sun at recess (our favorite part of the day!!) and we also worked in our book boxes.

Sincerely,
