Welcome Back!

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a relaxing break.  Today we got right back to work first block with Math Stations.  We are almost finished 2D geometry and our just beginning our 3D geometry inquiry.  We will be rotating through five stations this week and into next week.  Some of the stations require us to post our work to our own blogs so take a peek if you get a chance!

At the Tangram Station, we are learning to create pictures using the 7 geometric 'tans'.  We watched the story "Grandfather Tang's Story" before we went off to our stations. Can you make the animals that Grandfather created in the book? You can find an interactive site here to play around with your own tangrams!
Today, we also listened to the story of the "Three Trees".  Do you remember the dreams of the three trees?  Did their dreams come true? What was the author's message? We are working on creating an Easter Egg version of the story to display in the foyer.

In Science, we played a game of Kahoot to see what we remembered about Solids and Liquids.  Click here if you would like to play the game at home!

3D Skeletons and 'Easter Eggs'

Today we made 3D skeletons of solids using straws and clay.  We posted our creations on the padlet below as well as to our kidblogs.

During Lent, we read the tale of the three trees and their dreams that did not become realized.  We learned that God had a different plan for them.  We created 'Easter Eggs' to show what they really became...a manger, a fishing boat and the cross that Jesus was crucified on.

We continued to work on our simple machine toys and worked on our Dragon's Den promo video!  A very busy day!
