Gingerbread

These past 2 weeks have been full of exciting activities and visitors. Last week we has a special treat in the media center. Mary Musgrove came to speak to us about her importance in establishing Savannah as Georgias first colony. Did you know she help James Oglethorpe and Tomochichi communicate with each other?We also had Mrs. Byrd and Mrs. Caudle come read their story Santa's 911 Meeting to us. What a treat.





This week we have been foscused on gingerbread. We are reading a variety of gingerbread stories and keeping tract of the story elements. We have read about gingerbread babies, pirates, boys, and cowboys so far. We will continue to read more stories nexrt week. We will be ready to enjoy our own gingerbread for our holiday party. Please make sure you send in the party items by Tuesday!



We had some super science experiments too! In the lab we made elephant toothpaste. One elephant's molar weighs 11 pounds! We also predicted and tested what would happen if the gingerbread man got wet! We discovered he would be in a lot of trouble.

First In Math

This week we recieved our codes for a new computer program-First In Math. This site can be accessed at school and at home. Your child's login and password can be found inside the cover of your child's agenda. Please have your child use this site for math fact practice. It is tons of fun and the students can earn points for themselves, our class, and our school.

We are reviewing place value this week. The students had fun playing games.




In science we conducted an experiment using Hershey kisses. It was fun and delicious!




Our measusrement projects were great! The students did a fantastic job presenting them and sharing their findings. The projects are being displayed in the media center for all to enjoy.



Hope to see you this Thursday the 21st for our Thanksgiving lunch. Our lunch is at 11:00.
