Smart Art Intergration

Students were able to meet Mrs. Tromsness who is teaching them about acting and retelling their favorite Fairy Tales... here they are using a Nursery Rhyme to weave a yarn web to the song Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Jack and the Beanstalk

Students practice number sense when placing magic beans in the bean stalk. Students roll a die count the dots and place that many magic beans in the Beanstalk tower.

Castle Construction

Students used their prior knowledge of structures to build their Fairy Tale Castle from recycle material.

Construction is a Go!!!!

Students are ready and excited about our Construction Unit. We started the morning with the song London Bridges and then we did a pre-assessment of "What does a bridge looks like to you?" The next day we created Clause Monet Famous Bridge Art... using painters tape and watercolor.

Pumpkin Exploration

This week students are Exploring Pumpkins. We started our morning off by measuring, weighing, and drawing our pumpkin. We also made predictions about our pumpkin... How many seeds are inside? Will our pumpkin Sink or Float in Water? Later that after noon it was time to cut into our pumpkin and see what is inside. Students were quite surprised to see so many seeds and feel how gooey the inside of our pumpkin was.

Fall is in the Air

This week we are jumping into our mini fall unit before our next big unit. This week students dove into apple exploration. We read The Apple Pie Tree and made a list of ingredients we would need to make an Apple Pie... but the best part was tasting this delicious treat.
