Science Lab, Jan. 24, 2023

 We finished working with ramps and cars this week!

We asked the question, "Which goes farther, a light car or a heavy car?"

Thanks to the 4th graders for taping pennies to the cars to make them heavy!

We ended Science lab with a visit with the Bearded Dragon!

January Saint's of the Month

 

Scarlett and Maggie exhibit the traits of a saint by Studying, Praying and Serving!

They were honored at Mass this week!

Star Testing

Computer class this week was spent taking the STAR standardized test!  

All student's scores went up in Early Literacy, some by a hundred points! 

Stem Lab, 1/27/23

 The students enjoyed spending time in the Stem Lab today!

It's great to see them build different things using the materials given.

They also worked at one station on coding and tried to get the knight to capture the flag!

Jae's Half Birthday

We celebrated Jae's July 25th birthday this week!

Jae was Student of the Week, too!

 

Reagan's Birthday

 Oops, I completely missed posting the picture from Reagan's birthday!

We celebrated Reagan's Dec. 16th birthday on Dec. 7th and she was student of the week that week!

Happy 6th birthday, Reagan!

Science Lab - Jan. 10

 We've started a new unit, Movement and Motion, in Science.

We discussed how things move by a push or a pull.

Mrs. Tucker demonstrated how a stuffed octopus moved just by being released, no push or pull.

We explained the concept of GRAVITY in Kindergarten terms!

The students then used ramps and toy cars to experience the force of gravity.

The question we were answering today was "Does a car go farther on a 1 book ramp or a 2 book ramp?"

Our findings showed that the cars went farther on a 2 book ramp!
