Puff Mobiles!

Today, I incorporated Physics into the classroom! The students were given 4 mints, 3 straws, 2 paper clips, 1 piece of paper, and 50 cm of tape. Without any instructions, they were told to create a car. They could use the materials given to them, and those ONLY. The students then had to race their cars. The only way the cars could move was by blowing on them. The students did a fantastic job on the cars! Enjoy the following pictures.

Joyful Noise - Poems for Two Voices




Last week, the students worked extremely hard preparing presentations for the class. The students were partnered up and given a poem to memorize and recite from the book "Joyful Noise -  Poems for Two Voices" By, Paul Fleischman. The students named this presentation "Bugs and Their Voices". The students created costumes and practice very hard. Please enjoy a brief video of just a few of the poems!

Charlotte's Web Finale

The student's truly did an incredible job on the Charlotte's Web end of the unit projects! The students had to recreate their favorite scene from the book and then write a summary of what the picture represents. The students also created brochures for the County Fair. They could either make the brochure for the County Fair that was in our story or for a County Fair that they would want to visit. The students used so much creativity and detail while completing this project!
