Famous Americans in History

Students chose a famous person in history to research. We used print sources and non-print sources. Students also included text features to their display such as graphics, captions, and a timeline. They also wrote a biography of their person after researching. They did such a wonderful job! I love them all!

Circuits!

We created simple series circuits with a power source, conductor, and load. Students were giving the materials and asked to light the bulb. After several trial and error sessions, students were able to figure out how to create the closed circuit so electrons can flow in a complete path!

Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Box Winners-1st Caitlyn (toliet), 2nd Annslie (hot air balloon), 3rd Corbin (basketball goal) Very creative!!

M&M Fractions!

Students used M&M to create fractions of each color. Then we took it an extra step and they had to create an equivalent fraction to match the original fraction! The we enjoyed our yummy chocolate!

Duck Dynasty Day!

We really enjoyed Duck Dynasty Hands-On day. Students dressed up and completed several realating projects! One included reading parts of a Duck Dynasty Article and stating facts, asking questions, making connections, and adding their responses to the article. Great close reading strategy!

Fraction Strips!

Students created their own fraction strips and used them to compare!

Weather Instruments!

Students enjoyed our weather unit. We discussed weather patterns, instruments, and reading weather maps and radars. Students got to be a Metorologist and explain today's weeather forcast and created weather instruments as an end of the unit project!

Clouds, Clouds, Big Puffy Clouds!

Students created the 4 main types of clouds out of cotton balls placing them on construction paper showing which clouds were high, low, and in the middle. We discussed cumulus, cirrus, stratus, and cumulonimbus.
