Stopping erosion and a little morning tub fun!

Each morning once our morning work is done we have "morning tubs" available to work in small groups (first come first serve!) until we clean up and start our day.

Our final science project in our first science section.

We had to try out an idea after discussing our plan.

Once we tried out that first idea we made any needed changes.

Then we tried our second design to see if we could control the erosion better.

We had a lot of success!

And a lot of fun!

Now we are moving on to our second section: Matter!

Snowflake model making, snow day predictions and a Star of the Week display from last week!

 Great partner work helped us create these snowflakes.

On our first day back we made our "snow day" predictions. I have NEVER had more than one student guess the correct day-this year we had EIGHT friends guess Thursday. Clearly Mrs. Salerno needs to watch the weather more closely before doing this activity! :-) 

What a nice poster created by Shea our last Star of the Week. Next up: Michael!

Happy New Year and New Blog!

Welcome back everyone and happy start to 2018!
Today we talked a lot about our resolutions for the new year.

 After reading Snow Day by Lester L. Laminack we made guesses about the first "snow day". 

If any of our guesses come true there will be a prize!

Some photos from our December holiday party! Thank you to Mrs. Russo and Mrs. Hogan for organizing and to all of the yummy treats that were donated.
