Chinese New Year 2017

Students got a chance to eat with chopsticks to celebrate Chinese New Year.

100th DAY

 We celebrated 100th day with 100 fruit loop necklaces and 100 snacks.

 Our class did a wonderful job on their 100th day home projects.

We also dressed up like we were 100 years old! I wish I could post more pics They were so cute!

January Writing and Art Projects

January was full of snowman and snow themed activities. First up, snow globes. Using their fingers students created a snowman scene in their "snow globes."

Next we read 'There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow.' We talked about the sequence of the items she swallowed. Then we wrote about what we would swallow if we where the old lady.

We also decorated our classroom with snowflakes. One was made using coffee filters and the other blue strips of paper with white paint.

Last up is the Snowmen at Night art and writing project. We  read 'Snowmen at Night.' Shaving cream was used to make the snowman's face. The students wrote about what they would do if they were snowmen at night.

PLTW

We finished the first module (Structure and Function) of Project Lead the Way awhile ago.Our last task was to solve a problem. Students had to design and build a paint brush that would paint a straight line (thick and thin), and dots.
