MOSH Field Trip

We went on an educational trip to the Museum of Science and History. We learned about the human body, investigated properties of matter, and even saw a show about matter! Since the weather was so nice, we enjoyed our lunch outside at Friendship Fountain.

Boosterthon Fun Run

For the last week we've been raising money for our school. Friends and family members have been pledging money and today was the day for us to run our laps and earn their respect and money. The most laps allowed: 35. Our time limit: 1 hour. Our teachers and parents encouraged us as we continued to run around the Boosterthon track. At the end of the race we received many cool prizes (waterbottles, sunglasses, balls, watches, bracelets, and even t-shirts and more) and our class raised over $90 per lap!!! Over the last week we enjoyed extra recess, popsicles, free drawing time, hat day, lunch outside, and bubble gum, setting and meeting new goals almost daily! We certainly will miss the daily visits from the Boosterthon team. What a FUN way to raise money for our school!

Choosing Independent Reading Books

Each student has an independent reading book bag hanging on the back of his/her chair. Every Friday students return the books that they are finished with and choose 10 new books to read the following week. They try to find some "just right" books and vary the genres. Student favorites include poetry books, books of the month, nonfiction books about animals, Magic School Bus books, and chapter books.

A classroom visit from a pediatrician

As we continue to talk about community helpers in social studies, some of our parents have stopped by our classroom to tell us about their jobs. This mom brought x-rays to show us, a splint, some medical equipment, and we all got to wear masks to keep the germs away! She really made learning fun!!

Severe Weather Lessons Blowing in from the South

Today we got to visit with a local meteorologist! Mr. Tim Deegan from Channel 12 News came to our class to tell us about clouds, high and low pressure, weather instruments, and what to do in the event of dangerous weather. We learned that lightening only happens when ice crystals are present. We discussed what to do if a tornado warning is issued. We talked about tsunamis and hurricanes. We even learned a little bit about television production and what a green screen is!

Carmen Agra Deedy Visits Chets Creek!

We had an entertaining visit with the awesome author Carmen Agra Deedy this morning! She is a master storyteller and kept the kids hanging on her every word as she told them a tale about a character with more heart than brains.
