Christmas visitors!

We had a lot of special visitors come read and do Christmas crafts with the kids this week! 🎅🏻🎄

Andrea Lott, or Mimi :), is Dr. Stancil’s mother. The kids had a great time making ornaments and crafts with her.

My mother in law, Sharon Breiner, came to do an estimating Christmas activity with the kids!


My mother, Starr Anderson, came to read and show the kids her dancing Santa Clause! 


Dr. Stancil, our principal, came to read Christmas books to our class! They had a great time with her. 

Learning with Christmas!

We started our Christmas Around the World research today! Kids chose a country’s Christmas traditions to research this week! They will present their country’s traditions to their friends when they are finished. Ask your kids what they have learned so far about their country at Christmas time 🎄

We started building Santa’s village today using area and perimeter!

It’s the season of giving 🎄🎅🏻Students are enjoying giving gifts to their classmates! They can’t wait to open their stockings on Friday!

Thank you letter from Texas School District

I received this thank you letter in the mail from the school district in Texas we sent supplies to after Hurricane Harvey! Your generosity and kindness were deeply felt by that community. Thank you for being champions for ALL students 👏🏻

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

The stockings and lights are hung!! Our classroom looks fun and bright for the Holidays :)

This week we learned about the work of paleontologists! Students were challenged to use their paleontologist tool (a toothpick) to dig out as many fossils (chocolate chips) from the Earth (cookie) as they could. The goal was to try and get the “fossils” out whole and to try not to destroy the “Earth” too much!  

We had a great time presenting our rock projects to each other!! 




After our Thanksgiving Feast, we came back and did a webquest on The First Thanksgiving! Afterwards, students were presented with a challenge to build a mayflower ship that would get Pilgrims from England to America without sinking. We will test our boats tomorrow to see which one stays afloat the longest!

Fun Friday!

We learned about the layers of soil today by building it with food! 

Ella’s father, Mr. Pascual, has served our country for over 5 years! Since Veterans Day is tomorrow, he came to talk to the class about what he does and even let us try on his gear 👍🏻 thank you for all you do to keep us safe, Mr. Pascual!
