Watching Our Seeds

After just a few days our seeds starting growing! Several of the kids took their seeds home to try and start a garden. =)

Addition Strategies

We've been studying several different strategies with our addition. This will help us when we do double-digit addition... we'll be able to add the ones and tens quickly! 

Meet our "Doubles Dudes"!

Each D is full of all of the doubles facts we know.

Saying Good-Bye to the Trout!

We really lucked out on the day we took our trout to the river... the sun was out and it wasn't too cold! (The other bonus was the great playground at the park!) We took turns scooping out a little fry and sending it off into Blue Lake.

While we waited for our turn to release the fish, we went on a nature hunt and ate our lunch. It was a very fun day!

Rewind...

to 100s Day!
We drew what we thought we would look like when we were 100, and what we'd be doing:

We also built marshmallow structures. Each group got 100 marshmallows and 100 toothpicks... the object of the project was to use teamwork to build a structure that would stand. Who could build the tallest tower?

They may not be tall... but they are very creative!

Mini Water Cycle

After learning about how water *rotates* through a cycle, we made began our own science investigation... we created a mini water cycle! We filled our cups with water, and put them in a baggie on the window. We think the water might evaporate and maybe create clouds??

Edited: We left our experiments up for about two weeks. There was a lot of condensation - water droplets - on the baggies, but no clouds.
