Hands on Fun!

Which has more mass?   In math, we have been learning about measurement.  We have measured using meter and yard sticks,  finding volume using graduated cylinders, and now we are finding the mass using a pan balance.  Below, you will see the students measuring different objects, and recording their data!

Inside recess brings out the best in all of us!
Never a dull moment in our classroom!  Joseph and Pedro are helping make my tie blanket.   

China!!!

Did you know China had a Yellow River?  Did you know that the people in China invented paper?   Today, we were so excited to do a WEBQUEST on China.  We learned some neat information.  Below are some students working together to search for information.
