Pollution is No Joke
Teams used a variety of plans and tools to remove pollution from a natural resource (water). Everyone agreed that it was messy and difficult. Everyone also agreed that they had fun, but could not get rid of all of the pollution.

Welcome chicks!
Here is our first chick. Aubrey invented a new word today: cugly (pronounced cyoogly). It means cute and ugly at the same time.

Kids In Space!
We've been learning about space (mostly how the sun impacts earth). We have spent some time watching videos taken on the International Space Station. Astronaut Chris Hadfield provides a great inspiration. Check out more of his videos on YouTube.

Cold Weather Learning
We made mini-popsicles, using our outdoor stoop as a freezer.
Children made predictions and explored the meanings of the words "freeze, liquid and solid".
Parker: The word "freeze" means that something doesn't move.
Sophia: A solid stays the same shape.
We also blew bubbles outside. We wondered if the bubbles would freeze into a solid or stay a liquid.
Now we are wondering, "Why did the small bubbles in the bowl freeze, but the bubbles we blew stay as a liquid?"

Math Homework
This is the first week of math homework for the
Butterfly Class.
As with all other homework, math homework will be
sent home on the fist day of the week and is due on Friday of each week.
One of our goals in math for first grade is for
students to be able to quickly and accurately solve addition and subtraction
equations to 18.

Children should come to school dressed in regular
school clothes. They will have the
opportunity to change into their costumes during our classroom
celebration. Students should bring no
weapons, masks or scary items to wear during the parade, even if those items
are part of the costume.
All
children leaving the school on that day with parents will need to meet in the
cafeteria and sign children out before leaving school.
