Mrs. Wojtera’s Wonderful Ones may bring a stuffed zoo animal to class tomorrow. This animal will be used for a Working on Writing activity during Daily 5.

I can’t wait to see what animals come to school tomorrow!

What Dissolves?

January 14th, 2012  Tagged ,

Our class has been studying the properties of three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. We mixed different liquids together to see what would happen. Some would mix, some would not.

We tried to dissolve some solids into liquids. Some would dissolve, some would not.

Thanks to Casey for helping us with our experiments!

Mrs. Patterson’s class, Mr. Farmer, and Pee Wee got together and made a movie to help us get ready to read The World According to Humphrey.

That is our One School, One Book selection and our reading starts this weekend! Enjoy watching the movie again and don’t forget to read Chapter 1!

One School, One Book starts today! Every family will receive a copy of The World According to Humphrey to read over the month of January. The reading schedule, book, and introductory letter will be sent home today. I cannot wait to talk to the students at school about the chapters we are all reading at home!

To get us interested in the main character of the book, Riley has written a hamster story!

I am a hamster person. I love hamsters. Hamsters are little balls of fur. My favorite thing about hamsters is that they climb up their cage.

This is the pot at the end of the rainbow. A little green guy is standing in the gold that has spilled out of it.

The rainbow ends at the gold. The little green guy is next to his house. His house is the rainbow and a door that looks like the sun.
