Hi everyone! I hope you have enjoyed the slide show from Muffins with Mom and the pictures from math centers. We we have a had a great week back to school. The kids seemed to really enjoy their spring break and were ready to be back. The students are learning about poetry and how to write poetry during the writing block. We read a poem about the wind yesterday and discussed the poem. They each made a windsock to go with the poem. They will write their own poems on Monday.




In math we are finishing the chapter on money. During project time we are talking about matter. Today the students experiemented with air. I hope you enjoy the pictures from their experiments.

Student responses:

Thomas:
"The elephant did not spin every time.
The bunny spins every time."

Scott:
"To me the elephant spun faster than the rabbit,but the rabbit went down faster than the elephant!"

Brooke:
"The bunny spins more.The bunny is faster to me.
The elephant is smaller."
