Pumpkin Explorations

We had an exciting morning exploring pumpkins in our classroom!  Students first predicted how many lines were on their pumpkin, and how many seeds were inside. Next they measured the height, width and weight. Then students counted the number of lines and tested to see if it would float (it did). Finally,  the pumpkins were opened and students counted the seeds in groups of 10. 

Science Explorations

We have been experimenting with various materials to explore strength and stability. Here, students manipulate two pieces of paper to support a book. 

Procedural Writing Integrated with Art

We have been learning about and practicing procedural writing in our classroom. While creating this birch tree artwork we also generated a step by step procedure for the project. Each piece turned out beautifully unique!

Welcome!
