Rising Actions and Falling Actions

Tommrow we are learning about rising actions and falling actions in a story! This is the video we used to trigger our schema!

Putting Science in Motion!

Today we learned about motion. Did you know that objects can be made to move by using a push or a pull? We used our aluminum foil boats to push and pull through the water. Some boats moved better than others. Friction is what causes things to stop or slow down. When a person's boat was not smooth on the bottom, the friction made it move slower. Look at our pictures to see our experiment!

What a Great Day!

We had a wonderful time at the Children's Museum. The day started with a crisp bus ride to Miller Outdoor Theater. The kids loved running and rolling up and down the hill. We had a great picnic and then headed to the museum. We were lucky to have a quite afternoon at the museum. Be sure to ask your child about the water works and power play. I even took a turn at climbing up (not as easy as it looks)!

I hope your student had as much fun as I did. Thanks to all the moms who helped today. It was perfect!

Just a few thoughts...from Mrs. Johnson

Parents,

I wanted to let you know that conference reminders will be in the Friday folder. For parents that were not at Curriculum Night, I have assigned times. There is a spot to sign and return to confirm your time. I am looking forward to meeting with each of you to discuss your student's progress!

One other new thing to look for. Your student will begin coming home with a big zip lock in place of their Purple Reading Folder. I learned quickly that the folders were not going to hold up to all the great reading we are doing. I am hoping this will be a better solution.

Thanks and have a terrific day!

Mrs. Johnson
