Habitat Projects

The kids did a fantastic job on their habitat projects. They had so much information about the animals, plants and geographical details of the region they chose to research. I am so proud of all the time and effort they put into these amazing projects!!!

Field Trip

Last week we went to the Georgia Aquarium. The kids had a blast and I think the parents were just as excited!! We were able to go behind the scenes and see how they feed those giant whale sharks. We even had a surprise visit by a penguin passing by our line. 

Eureka!!!

We have been busy this past semester with Eureka. We have learned about rounding, telling time and elapsed time, multiplication, division, properties of multiplication and so much more!!! 

Special Guest Reader

We had a very special reader this week in class. Mrs. Stewart our principal came to read about Yumion the onion. Yumion travels through all the different regions of Georgia and tell about all the different things he finds and learns. 

We are measuring!!!

The last two weeks in math we've been

learning about kilograms, grams, liters and milliliters. While you are out and about ask your child if they think you would measure something using kilograms, grams, liters or milliliters. 

Measurement using Kilograms and Grams

Today we guessed the weight of an object then measured that object to the nearest kilogram or gram. The students had to decide if we should weigh the object using kilograms or grams. (Ms. Storey taught our math lesson today) 

Bird Beak Experiment

Today we took at look at the different types of beaks birds have and why they are so different. We discussed what the types of beaks allow different birds to eat,  where they live and why they have a beak of a certain shape. The students used pliers, tweezers, spoons, toothpicks and droppers to show the different types of beaks and discussed why they were the most effective on certain types of food. The foods we used ranged from seeds to gummy bears (flesh of animals).
