African Dance

   Our K-5 students learned a lot about Africa and traditional dances during PE this week!  We celebrated this learning with a community dance!  Check out these moves!

Biographies and Autobiographies

   Mrs. Hagene taught us a lesson about the difference between an autobiography and a biography!  We read Wangari's Trees of Peace to practice identifying a narrative version of a biography!

Bar Modeling Madness

   We love bar modeling because they help us organize our thinking when working through multiple step problem solving!  Check out this hard work!

A Busy (Short) Week

   Thank you so much for the time and support during conference week!  Unfortunately, the blog suffers during times like these!  Of course learning happened and I can't wait to share that with you!
   We are wrapping up stream tables and have been investigating floods and slope.  We learned a lot about landforms this week through the stream tables.  Ask a 3rd grader if they can point out any of the landforms in the photos below!

   On Thursday, we celebrated our first published writing!  Students enjoyed "falling into great writing!"  Ask a 3rd grader what that means to them!

Stream Tables with Slope

How does slope affect erosion and deposition?  Ask a Schuh Star to explain which natural landform we simulated using the stream tables today and what they learned from the investigation!
