Delicious Descriptions

In Language we have been working on Descriptive Writing.  On Friday we used our senses to describe s’mores.  Before we were able to eat our yummy treats we had to describe what our s’more: looked, sounded, felt, smelled and the best one, tasted like.  As you can tell from the pictures below, we had a lot of messy fun :)

Punctuation Superheroes

To wrap up our study of punctuation we made “Punctuation Superhero” hats.  We created three sentences (one question, one exclamatory, and one statement) to go along with our superhero punctuation marks. 

Blubber Experiment

In Science we are learning about habitats and adapting in those habitats.  In this experiment students placed their hands in ice water.  Students then had the opportunity to place their hand in a glove, and then have their hand covered in shortening before re-dipping it into the ice water to feel what a difference the layer of shortening made on the temperature of the ice water.  We learned that the shortening represents a thick layer of oily skin that helps to protect animals from frozen temperatures.

Happy Grandparents Day!

 

In honor of National Grandparents Day on September 9^th, we made personalized handprint poems for our Grandparents.  We each got to decorate our poem then have our little handprint printed on the bottom.

 

Life-Cycle Hats

In Science we were learning about life cycles.  We had fun making hats to represent the life cycle of a frog!
