Science - Test Prep

The day before the test on states of matter we reviewed with the Kahoot! app.

I created a Kahoot! game that covered the material we studied.

After each question, we discuss it if anyone gets it wrong.

Science - Experimenting with Sink or Float

The children did some experimenting with sink or float.

First, they had to guess whether several items such as a pencil, glue stick, rubber band, quarter would sink or float.

Then, they checked in a container of water.

One of the lesson in our science book was about that solids will mix with liquids and that some will dissolve. We did some experimenting with water and some solids. I have some small plastic test tubes filled with water. I showed the children some solids and they had to guess if the solid would dissolve. Then I add each solid one by one to see if they guessed correctly.

1ST Basketball Game for the Girls

Yesterday I went to the first basketball game for St. Ann’s girls 1st and 2nd grade team. It was so fun to watch. Congratulations to them for their win over Saint Francis!

February - Black History Month - Ruby Bridges

In order to celebrate Black History Month, I introduced the children to Ruby Bridges. We read several books and watched a video to learn more about her. Ruby Bridges was first grader when she was part of the desegregation of school in Louisiana.

In January, we had learned about Martin Luther King Junior and how people were treated differently about the color of their skin. We continued this discussion and added the segregation of schools. We discusses how this would feel and how it is different today in our class. The books and videos explain what Ruby went through and how she prayed to God for those people treated her unkindly.
