The students are learning about ways to identify leaves based on the leaf type (simple, simple-lobed, or compound), leaf vein and leaf margin (toothed, wavy, or smooth).  Our Word Study shelf is focusing on synonyms. We are learning that synonyms are words that have almost the same meaning. The students are practicing finding these words in their...Read More

On the shelf, students can examine works about the Timeline of Life and discover various fossils. Students will match these fossils with their...Read More

This week our students studied the density and The Principle of Lift. Students made the perfect paper airplanes based on their understanding of how air density affects flight. On Thursday, students will have a paper airplane contest to see how far their planes will go. In biology and botany, students studied plant roots and the...Read More

In preparation for gathering around tables and celebration with our families, next week we introduced setting places at the table.
