Things We Did
Year In Review
We did a "Year In Review" activity with our class blog!  We looked at our very first Sign-In Sheet, self-portraits that we drew, and our first printing activities!  We saw old pictures of the classroom, sang songs from the whole year, and got to see how far we've come in just 40 weeks.


Learning the difference between

roll and slide, and which moves

things farther.



Scientists in the Schools: Marvelous Machines

Scientists in the Schools came into the class to talk about Simple Machines!  We used wheels, gears, levers, zippers, buttons... things we never thought were really machines!  It was an amazing afternoon and thanks to the parents and students who came to help us out! 



This Is Me Now!

To compare how much better our drawing has become, we created "This Is Me Now" pictures, trying to draw as realistic a picture of ourself as possible.  We then compared it to our "This Is Me" picture from the start of the year.

Jackman's Got Talent



Scientist Karin explains the afternoon.

We went to see Jackman's amazing talent show, Jackman's Got Talent!  We saw singers, piano players, dancers, and Mr. McCullough and Mme Rankin were called up on stage to do a Bollywood dance!
