Sledding Into the New Year!

One month into the new year, and we haven't had a full week of school yet! Take a look at the FUN we had this month, in-between all of the unexpected snow days, illnesses, three day weekends, mid-year assessments and benchmark testing. PHEW! I'm tired just thinking about it!! 

Math Rotations

Practicing Our Facts!! 

Kalani, Wyatt and Andrew Playing Fraction Cookies
Who will be the first to "build" ALL of their Cookies using halves, thirds, and sixths?!

Sasha and Jackson playing Fraction Cookies 

 Fun Times with Mrs. Lott!!

As an intro to our upcoming science lesson on Matter and the Water Cycle, Mrs. Lott challenged the students to create a story about a raindrop that travelled around the world through the different stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation and precipitation. It was great to see what creative adventures their drops went on!
She finished up the lesson by reading the book "A Drop Around the World". 

Teaching us about a Triple Venn Diagram and how to use it to compare THREE things! 

We compared 4 different tools used in our Weather unit!
Anemometer, Rain Gauge, Thermometer, & Weather Vane

Weather Centers
Brainstorming Lists of Hurricane Names
in Alphabetical Order!!

Recess Ruckus! 

No need to adjust your calendars...it really was warm enough to wear short sleeves OUTSIDE! You have to love Virginia, where one week you're in snow boots, the next... flip-flops! 

Unfortunately, it's not always so warm this time of year, and the cold forces us to stay inside. Take a look at our indoor recess video!! 

Project Fit! Even if we can't get outside we are still exercising our bodies and our brains! 

CONGRATULATIONS
