Heat Energy





 This week in science we are talking about Heat Energy.  
What better way to do this than to bake cookies.


Yum Yum!



 Learning about Heat Energy was fun.
But actually making cookies was a blast.

Read to Self

Everyday we have a self selected read to self time.  Students can read a book on their ipad or out of the library center.  
They love this time.  
I love when I say "It is read to self time" and I hear their excitement.

Apple Week Fun!

We had great fun with Apple Week.
Students brought their apple from home.
We started by do a real graph.

We started by me giving them time to work as a group and decide on their own how to graph and we slowly narrowed it down to 4 categories.  Great problem solving going on.






Ta Da!

We read Apple Books, Apple Poems, Apple Sorts, Apple Rhyming Words, Apple Tasting and ended the week with Applesauce.







 Can you believe it, the most students liked yellow apples.

Making Applesauce



Fun Fun Fun Week!
