Sweet Science

It was a sweet deal observing properties

of candy with our 5 senses!

Getting to the "Point" in Science

While studying "matter" in science, students have completed a mini-lesson on POINTILISM, which is a work of art created with dots. The art activity helped emphasize how close the molecules are located in each of the the 3 states of matter. Click on the title above to do an activity with pointilism.

Fun with Math

Mrs. Olssen let us use our Silly Bandz to find lines of symmetry!

Patricia Polacco Study Pics

"...knowledge is like the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to chase it through the pages of a book!" (Thank You, Mr. Falker - Patricia Polacco)

Students in reading sampled several books from Patricia Polacco's collection, and also sampled a little honey. Some thought it was tasty...others, not so much, as you can see from their reactions.
