Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

A told B, B told C, meet you at the top of the coconut tree! Prek-3 were read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom during story time and them made their own coconut tree with the letters of their names climbing up.

Frog Habitats

First graders are learning about camouflage. They are creating a frog habit, and hopefully their new pet frogs will safely blend into the environment.

PreK 4 Art & Literacy

PreK 4 visited the library today for a lesson in opposites. They made pretend cotton candy (soft) and lollipops (hard).

Measuring Volume & Experimenting with Density

4th graders are learning more about volume and density. Today they experimented with liquids that have different densities. The also measured the volume of marbles using water and a graduated cylinder.

3D printing!

Things are taking shape in our EE 3D printing class. EE classes are our Extracurricular Exploration classes for Junior High.

Introduction to Engineering

First grade: living and non-living things

Robot dogs, non-living. Dogs, living, Lollipops, non-living. Goldfish, living. Yogurt-covered blueberries, non-living. Blueberry bush,  living.

We have fun examining various things to see what was living and non-living.

Jump Starting Our Brains!

Some sixth graders jump started their brains this morning by working on a puzzle in the library before class started.

Density

In STREAM, our 4th graders experimented with density comparing multiple liquids and a paper clip. They constructed a hypothesis, experiment, collected data and discussed their conclusion with teammates.

Exploration

Second graders had fun exploring different centers in STREAM class this afternoon. They started designing and making hats for their hat collection,  just like Walter in Iris and Walter. They also played with solar crickets and talked about other things they’d find in the country (rural community). Next they planted pumpkin seeds. They’ll be learning more about the parts of a plant in Science. And finally, they worked together to construct a tree house for Iris, similar to the one where Iris met her new friend Walter.

Kilauea update

My 3rd graders last year read Voyage to the Volcano. Just as we were finishing it, Kilauea erupted...and it hasn’t stopped.

We watched as it erupted and continued to erupt, but just in case you haven’t kept up with it over the summer, here’s a current article and some new vocabulary.
