Scarecrows

We are working hard on our scarecrows! We decided that a scarecrow's job would be really boring standing in a field all day. We thought it would be fun to pretend that we were the scarecrows and we left the field for the day. We wrote a paper telling about our fun journeys and all the great things we did. Then we decorated a scarecrow that looked just like us. We put a picture of our face on the scarecrow. It was a great way to write, learn and have fun at the same time!

Our Human Bodies!

We learned all about our bodies. We learned about our bones, muscles, heart, lungs, the nervous system, and our respiratory system. To put all the information we learned together we made life-size human bodies. We had so much fun tracing our bodies and putting all the body parts in the correct area.

Place Value Blocks

To help us learn addition with regrouping, we used place value blocks. Each child had to use the blocks to add problems such as; 153 + 159. Once they figured out the correct answer they had to practice their regrouping skill with the blocks.

Individuality

Last week, Kidstuff from Oakbrook Church, came to do a program on individuality. Be the first person to tell me what you learned and you will get a prize!

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Projects!

Look at all the wonderful creativity! I must say, I was amazed at all of the amazing projects. I am so proud of you! Who would have thought you could make so much fun stuff with healthy food. Who said learning can't be fun?

Delicious Healthy Snacks!

To go along with our Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs unit, we were learning about nutrition in health. Each student brought in a healthy snack to share. As we were eating out treats, we discussed nutrition and the food pyramid.
