Science Museum
We had a great time on our field trip to the science museum
at Coralville. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
Landforms
We have been discussing different landforms. After looking at pictures, videos, and maps, we practiced making landforms out of clay. Here are some clay mountains!
Math
The students have experienced a variety of math games and sites on our schools laptops.
In Reading, we had been learning about Johnny Appleseed.
While in our Math centers, students rotated to an
apple tasting center with a variety of different apple snacks
from yellow apples and apple jelly to apple juice.
They picked their favorite apple snack, and many were surprised to find they had a new favorite!
After picking their favorite apple snack, they graphed it on our class graph and we kept track of the favorites!

Happy Easter!
Hopefully you were all able to enjoy your Easter weekend.
To celebrate, we had a few Easter snacks at the end of our day. A grandmother of one of our students made jello eggs and has been making them for her grand kids for sixteen years! We appreciated her making them for us and enjoyed them for our Easter snack. Thank you!
It's That Time Again...
Reward Time!
On the Friday before spring break the students in Miss McElvoy's class and ours spent their afternoon going on a shape walk/reward trip to the park.
It was great weather and the park tied in nicely to the shapes we had been discussing lately. We also took our cameras. The class was asked to find a shape discussed during class and we would either take their picture with it, or they would be the photographer and could take the picture. Check these out, I think we have some future photographers!
