Fractions 
We have been reviewing our fractions by creating a fun, yet challenging fraction dodecahedron.

Summer Sandlot
Today our summer students welcomed an incoming kindergartener by putting together a game of baseball to make him feel comfortable. So cute to see them look out for each other.

Landforms
We finished our Islands by using our homemade clay to form "My" island.

Then we painted our islands. It was tricky to get the paint to look realistic. We used gold glitter for our desert areas. 

Emma was very creative in showing the lava erupting from  her volcano.

                  
             

Today we started our landform unit by creating our own islands. First we drew up a paper map and included at least 3 different landforms. Then we made homemade model magic for our 3d islands. 

The kids really got into cooking the model clay in the kitchen. 

Happy Birthday!

Today we celebrated a birthday with pizza and cupcakes, YUM!!!

Happy Birthday

Summer Gardening

Last week we weeded the garden and made our soil ready for planting.  This morning, we began digging holes and planting seeds.  We also painted soil markers to identify our crops. We are so excited to see what grows!

 Solar System Art

Last week we used chalk and pastels to create beautiful 3D solar systems.

We also reviewed antonyms, synonyms and homonyms with a solar system craftivity.
