Congratulations, Annabelle and Jingles Hi-Jinks!

Annabelle performed in the Nutcracker this weekend.  She did a fabulous job and did not look nervous at all!  I definitely got into the Christmas Spirit after watching these wonderful ballet dancers.

Getting ready for another performance!

Jingles...found on my porch!

Enjoying the snowy day!

Wish she helped shovel!

Solids, Liquids, Gas video, Jingles, Reindeer Cam and Hour of Code

Drag and drop programming

We were having trouble with the internet the other day so we made a video! Some friends have been asking for the link to the Reindeer Cam we have seen at school so here you go! Also...Jingles had a fun day at school lounging in a bath of...marshmallows! We also took part in the Hour of Code using the ipad minis for Computer Education Week/ The students had the opportunity to participate in computer science (via Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies) for one hour today.  They had a blast! Check out the pictures above!

Crystals and Jingles is my name!

Our crystals went home today and what did we learn? Well...we turned a liquid (the Borax dissolved in boiling water) into a solid (crystals).  They look so beautiful! It looks like the name chosen for our class elf is...Jingles!  Great name and thanks for voting!

Growing Crystals and...

We dissolved Borax in boiling water and placed a pipe cleaner snowflake into the cup.  Look what happened! A liquid plus a solid has created a...a...what did we create?

Crystals have formed!

Zachary made a sturdy chair for our elf-to-be-named and Mason made a bed for her to rest upon!

Sorting

We began our data management inquiry with a sorting activity.  Groups rotated around the classroom and sorted the objects on the table.  They were not told how to sort them and were asked to write down how they sorted the objects.  See if you can guess how they sorted the objects! Don't forget to vote on a name for our class elf...see below!
