Walk At Lunch Day

During our recess time today, students joined us for a walk down the bike path. It was great getting off the blacktop for a change. Miss Canfield even had them doing jumping jacks at one point. Each student who participated received a very cool pair of sunglasses as well! 

Moon Phases Song

I have been getting some requests for the Moon song :-) Here is a link to the song we have been practicing in class.

Oreo Moon

Thank you to everyone who donated Oreos for us to use yesterday. Our Oreo moons were a huge success.

A Sure Sign of Spring

After taking a very lengthy geometry assessment Friday morning, we went outside to enjoy the weather. Several students collaborated on this "feeding tower" for the animals. 

More Moon

Students are really enjoying the Moon Unit. So far we have learned about the following phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter Moon, Waxing Gibbous and Full Moon. All of these phases are when the moon displays more and more light from the sun. Next week we will be learning about the second half of the phases. These phases all display less and less light from the sun. 

To Infinity And Beyond!

This week we began a mini-unit on the Moon. We will be taking a closer look at the eight phases of the moon, how the moon gets it's light and why the moon is important to us.
