Learning to Email

My students are using FirstClass (same email software the teachers use) to learn how to email. Something most of us take for granted, email, is something my students will find necessary to use in today's world.
They are emailing a college friend of mine and former teacher, Lauren, who is currently a kinda-stay-at-home-mom-that-is-out-and-about-with-her-kids-at-school-and-everywhere-else, who has offered to be our email pen pal.

Woo Hoo We're Writing!

We have been laying the groundwork for the students writing works and now we are getting serious! The children are working on either computer or paper and pencil (their choice) with varying topics of their choice. I am amazed at how much they like writing on computer.
Most of the kids have asked to continue writing during their free time; which is a first in here!

Getting Dirty!

In Science, we are studying the properties of soil. We had 5 different types of soil that we examined by sifting different levels of the soil samples. Students had to determine the color, texture and note any items found in their sample.

Arrays

You know, anytime you can eat your math well, that's the best way to learn!
We were studying arrays using M&M's instead of markers or beans. It certainly keeps the kids minds on their work!
