Friendship Park

Friendship Park was a fun-filled day. We started playing around 9AM and the kids were ready to head back to school by noon. They had enough of the sun and were ready to get back to school. Here's an action shot of Tyler playing ball.

Young Authors

Today is YOUNG AUTHORS day. The students had the opportunity to read their stories to our guest readers Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Shouse, and Dr. Jay Morrow.

Bake Sale

Second grade had a lot of practice counting back change this week. They did a fantastic job selling all the baked items. Our 4th grade reading buddies helped oversee our money exchange. Thank you everyone for sending treats to sell at the bake sale. The money is going to the bank today & hopefully we'll have enough to cover our field trip to the Botanical Center in May.

The Hunt

I would like to thank everyone for donating candy for the kids' baskets. The had fun hunting for their basket.

Candy, candy & more candy. I did limit the amount of candy intake!

That's How The Cookie Rolls

It's the rolling of the Oreo! (I bet you didn't think you could do so many things with an Oreo?) The students made predictions of how far they could roll an Oreo. After 2 attempts we added an incline plane.

The kids were excited to see how much farther their Oreos rolled using an incline plane.

Sink or Float

Will the Oreo float or sink? The students wrote their question, made a prediction, made a plan of action & conducted the experiment. Then they recorded their conclusion.
