Walk-A-Thon 2010

Friday, September 17, 2010. A perfect day to be outside. Ready. Set. Go! For over an hour, our students walked (and in some cases even jogged) for our PTSO. From the smiles on their faces, I guess a good time was had by all :)

Solar Delight

Today we constructed our own "solar ovens". We put a graham cracker with a marshmallow and chocolate bar into each oven before heading to the playground, where we placed the ovens on the blacktop to collect the heat from the sun. A small mirror helped reflect the sun's rays for heat. The chocolate melted, the marshmallows got soft, and the afternoon treat was DELICIOUS!

Tell Us About Your Summer Vacation

We're now in the process of writing about how each of us spent our summer vacations.  Each class member has interesting stories to tell and we're excited to hear about them.  They are doing a great job on this writing project.

Here is a picture of my summer vacation in Massachusetts.  We visited many fascinating places and enjoyed seeing the East Coast.

Geared Up and Ready to Learn

This is our class for the year!  I hope you enjoy traveling with us on this blog in our adventures throughout the school year.  We have a lot to learn:  multiplication tables, cursive writing, and indigenous communities.  We also have a lot of fun to do too:  weaving, painting, cooking, and pottery.  So get ready to travel along with our class.  Thanks for your support during our learning process this school year.
