Along with our buddies we build candy towers as one of our STEM projects. We looked at different 3 d shapes and what we thought would build the tallest structure. We were lucky to have the help of our buddies for this fun project.

We worked on teams to break out of the dungeon. We looked around the library for clues on how to break out and open the locked box. We had to work together to solve this mystery. What a Spooktacular time we had!
We loved our special pizza lunch today! We celebrated with the lunch because we were the class that donated the greatest number of bags for the clothing sale. Thank you BFA! We loved learning about pollination with this fun experiment. Each child was given a juice box and a plate of cheetos. Students took a sip of nectar (juice) and a bite from a cheeto. The cheese from the cheetos was dropped on flowers as the children enjoyed their treats. The students would continue taking sips of nectar and leaving pollen all around the room from the cheese on the cheetos. . We had our first Art appreciation presentation today. The children learned about the artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. They tried to emulate his work by drawing under their desks. What fun!!!!
Jack's sister and former student Izzy came in today to be our Mystery Reader. Izzy did a wonderful job sharing an Elephant and Piggy book and a Halloween story. We completed a spider web Stem challenge. The goal was to build a spider web that would support the greatest number of spiders using only yarn, tape and 2 cups. After designing a plan students started to build. Some of our students tested outcome strong webs. We love building and planning to solve challenges.
WE loved our first High Touch-High Tech science program! We were able to feel and observe different parts of animals. We felt snake skin, the jaws of an animal to determine a predator or prey, feathers, and shells that animals use as homes. As we were learning about the food chain and producers and consumers we were able to dissect an owl pellet. We could see bones and other materials inside. Last, we looked at how ecosystems are being destroyed and how dangerous it can be to the food chain. We learned how scientists begin to clean up an oil spill and we each received a cup of hydrophobic sand so we can continue to explore at home. We love science!
