Fruit and Veggie Derby

Today we celebrated the end of our nutrition unit with a Fruit and Veggie Derby. The kids were broken up into four groups yesterday and planned out their vehicle. Today they put those plans into action to create some unique vehicles. The cars were "raced" down a ramp. The clear winner was the car from group 3 - the bananas/apples/oranges/carrots car rolled the greatest distance. This class is full of future engineers! :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Flat Stanley project

Here are all of the Flat Stanleys created by our class. The students are in the process of writing about their adventures with Stanley this week. When they have completed their Stanley journal, they will mail the journal and their Stanley to a family member or friend, who will then have a week's worth of adventures with Stanley (and hopefully document them). It is always fun to see the completed journals when Stanley is mailed back to the student. In addition to each child having a Flat Stanley, this year we also have a class Flat Stanley. He will be mailed to a family member spending her senior year in Germany. Our maps get a lot of use during this project as kids look to see where all of the Flat Stanleys have been sent.
