Field Day Pics (Part 1)
With the threat of severe weather today, the 7th & 8th grade class chose to stay closer to home for our field trip. Sandy graciously opened up her home for the kids. They baked cupcakes, homemade sourdough pretzels, and chocolate chip cookies. They also enjoyed board games, some outside fun, and playing with the dogs.
Over the last couple of weeks the sixth grade science class has been doing experiments to end the school year. We have tried different designs of paper airplanes on the distance they flew, chemical reactions of vinegar/baking soda, and a few other fun experiments to end the school year.
What is a fun library activity after MAP testing? A scavenger hunt!!
Third Grade Students worked on creating their own zoo, by implementing their knowledge about perimeter and area to make each exhibit for the animals.
One very special class.
During library class, 1st & 2nd grade students began researching animal habitats using the online World Book!
4th and 5th grade worked collaboratively to design a ball launcher and receiver out of limited supplies. They were tasked with launching a tinfoil ball in order for it to land in a receiver without hitting the ground.
Hope to see everyone at the PTO Carnival Friday evening!
Pizza kits will be here on Tuesday, April 1st. They need to be picked up between 3:15-4:00 PM.
4th and 5th grade participated in our annual PB&J sandwich challenge. Each students was challenged with writing out the steps to make the perfect PB&J. Students focused on sequencing and using very explicit/detailed directions. Some students were successful, while others realized their directions left them with an unusual sandwich. By far one of my favorite lessons. 🍞🥜🍇
Our 7th & 8th grade class with sponsors, Mrs Hall & Mrs Allen, attended the UCM Children's Literature Festival on Monday. Students met 3 authors who traveled from LA, Minnesota, & Miami to share their life stories with Shawnee students.
Third grade & kindergarten students learned in STEM how to construct the tallest tower possible when given 10 craft sticks and play dough. Great job future engineers!
Today the first and second graders celebrated the 100th day of school! The kids decorated a poster at home to represent our 100 days and then got to bring them back and present them to the class! We loved seeing how creative everyone was and they loved showing off their work!
The Little Caesars Pizza Kits fundraiser packets were sent home today. The dates on the paper inside the packet are incorrect. We moved the sales dates because of our snow days. Use the dates on the outside of the envelope. The packets need to be returned to the school on Thursday, March 13th.
Third grade STEM students learning the circuitry process using Snap Circuits!
This week, STEM students in grades 1/2 celebrated Digital Learning month by exploring topics of coding & circuits. They had such success with the snap circuit sets & coding mouse!!
