Science Stations

We just started a new unit in science on properties of matter. Today the child had a great time visiting various stations to test objects, describe properties and record data they collected on a chart. Here are some photos of our little scientists in action!

Feel free to have your child dictate or type a comment below about what they learned or what they enjoyed most about the activities! You can spell check it for them! :) Be sure to leave their name with the comment! I would like for this blog to be interactive and meaningful for both students and parents!

Dreambox is Dreamy for Math Practice!

We are very excited to begin using Dreambox Learning for math practice both at home and in the classroom. We would like your child to play for a minimum of fifteen minutes each day at home. I will be monitoring your child's progress with Dreambox. What is really great is that the program adapts and changes based on our child's responses so it is customized for their areas of need! Practice will be so much fun for the kiddos, they won't even think it's homework :) !

You can access the link through my page on recommended sites for kids or click on this picture and mark it to your favorites. If you add a shortcut to your desktop at home, your child can access it independently!

Thank you for supporting this pilot program!

Common Core Math Fun!

We are trying to cover all of the Common Core Standards by using hands-on activities as often as possible. The children love our candy math activities best of all!

Scarecrow Glyphs

Our hallway bulletin board looks festive for Fall with our cute scarecrow glyphs!

Deliciously Creepy Oreo Spiders!

We had a deliciously creepy science lesson on the body parts of a spider as we built our own spider using Oreos, string licorice, sunflower seeds, Chinese noodles and candy sprinkles!
