Totem Pole Projects

For the last few weeks, we have studied the Native Americans and the Pilgrims.   The students created totem poles to tell about themselves.  These are photos of their completed projects.  The students presented their projects today.  We learned so much about each other.   The students were so creative and I am so proud of their completed projects!

Public Service Announcements

The students have worked long and hard to learn about the different animal groups, their habitats, and the ways we can protect animals.  Below you will find our PSAs that the students created on their own to tell about an endangered animal.  They did a great job!!! (Four students still need to be recorded ...these will be uploaded as soon as possible)

Spartanburg Humane Society Visit

The Spartanburg Humane Society came to visit us on Wednesday.   The students were able to learn the process of how an animal is prepared to be adopted.  Each student was allowed to interact with the therapy dog.

We will be taking up donations for the Spartanburg Humane Society throughout the month of September.  The types of things you can bring are towels, blankets, dog toys, pedigree dog food, stainless steel bowls, etc...

Reading with Samson

Samson came to visit with us on Tuesday.  The students loved getting to read with Samson and Samson loved them!!






Science Experiment Time

We have been having a blast in science.  The second week of school, we looked at the scientific process and asking questions.

The first experiment we completed was:  what happens to a gobstopper in water?  The kids put three gobstopper a in a water bottle and observed what happened throughout the day.

Our second experiment was a little messier.  We tested to see what happens when vinegar, food coloring and sodium bicarbonate were mixed together.  The students had to observe and taken notes during the experiment.

               Getting Ready to Drop in Our Sodium Bicarbonate 

We are hoping to do more experiments like this throughout the year!!

The First Week of School

This has been a fabulous week in Room 100!  I have loved getting to know each of my new sweet friends.  We have been busy all week long!

On Tuesday the students learned about each other through our "Venn Friend" activity.

                                 


On Wednesday, the kids wrote about their summer vacations.

On Thursday the students came down with a Bad Case of the Stripes and we had to find cures for all of them!


           
On Friday, we went on a "Senses Field Trip" and explored what our senses could tell us about the world around us.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the year will bring.  I will post some more pictures of our first week tomorrow!?
