Friday's Write Show and Share and Snowflake Family Project

The students were excited to share their clues and try to stump their classmates.  We did have three out of the five stump us.  Great reading, sharing and active listening!

Some of the students were also proud to share their January Family Project with their classmates.

How Fast Does Ice Melt?

Be The First One to Melt Your Ice Cube!

Polar bears habitat depends on the sea ice and snow den.  The polar bear adapts to the changes in seasons, and the melting of the sea ice, by eating lots of food during the winter months to survive through the summer.  Today the students tried to see how fast an ice cube would melt through a fun and interactive science game.  Thanks so much for coming into the classroom and helping with this science experiment Lindsey Lieck!

Hold it or float it!

Is it melting yet?

Brrr it is cold!

Blow on it.

Is it still there?

Drop it.

What happens when I add salt?

It is almost gone! 

Arctic Winds Continued to Blow

We have had so many inside recesses due to the subzero temperatures, but these first graders find a way to have fun with each other!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We had a busy morning. The day began with lots of sharing. Then we went to computer lab and began to create a shared tale using Little Bird Tales. Next in Math we learned how to regroup numbers into tens and ones. Then the students received their own logins for Sumdog and began to explore the math games using the netbooks. Finally the morning ended with Writer's Workshop and a Christmas vacation narrative.
