Family Reading Night!




Last night we had "Family Reading Night" funded by a grant from Target. Everyone had a great time and every child went home with a new book!! A special thank you to all my helpers who helped make it a huge success! It was lots of fun!! Thanks to all who participated!

Play-Doh Landforms

By: Chloe

We've been studying landforms in Social Studies. We made Play-Doh landforms. Each kid at a table got a thing of Play-Doh. The whole table combined their Play-Doh. We tried to make as many landforms as we could. All the table's landforms turned out to look really cool. Everybody had a very fun time. Here are some of the landforms we made: a desert, ocean, and a mesa. It was really fun and I hope I do something like that again.

What Do Chicks Look Like in Their Shell?

By: Ian

I have more news about the chicks! Apparently, they're duds. On the bright side, I asked Ms. Iten if I could take them home and crack them open! So, after school, I went to her classroom and picked six eggs. The first one was not interesting, or the second, or the third, all the way up to the fifth. But, the sixth egg actually had a dead bird! It's a good thing I was patient.

Chicks!

By: Micaela

We got our chicks in the afternoon, Ms. Iten surprised us. We got four of them. The Rock and Roll Funky Monkeys named their chick Julio Speedy Ricardo. The Spirit Tribe named theirs Chocolate Chip Cookie, Cookie, for short. The Brain Glides named theirs Peeper Loud. The Fireballs named theirs Puff Ball, Puff, for short. Julio is brown with black on the back. Cookie is all light brown. Peeper is all yellow. Puff is dark brown with white stripes on the back. I think everyone enjoyed it!
