Check out what's happening in Ms. Bergin's kindergarten class-
During our week of pumpkin studies we used our 5 senses to learn about our pumpkins through many activities. We created paper plate parts of a pumpkin, scooped out seeds and the pulp while squishing it in our hands. We used marshmallow pumpkin candy to see what happens in different t liquids as well as used them in stem project to build. We used our seeds to count and recognize numbers and linking chains to measure different sized pumpkins. We also did sink and float, tasted pumpkin pie, knocked on the pumpkins to see if they sound hallow and ripe. Lastly we did an experiment called elephant toothpaste and we had a small reaction of foam.

Mrs. Howard's 3rd grade students examined fruits and vegetables to determine if they were a science fruit or science vegetable. They had to dig for seeds. The best part came at the end when they got to taste test!
Mrs. Studebaker's Second Grade students have been learning all about bats! To celebrate all that they are learning they created fun vintage looking art using a tea staining technique! The students got to tea stain a science article on the echolocation of bats. Mrs. Studebaker also made the entrance of her room into a bat cave!
The Tigers at Shabbona reached their quarterly goal of 1200 Tiger Paws. They actually earned 1565 collectively and that means Mrs. Sobkoviak was duct taped to the wall! With the kids chanting "DUCT TAPE, DUCT TAPE", taping commenced. Here are some fun pictures from the event.

Have a great day!
Here's another example from 1st grade, Mrs. Skutt's class~
In first grade our essential question is “How do books change lives around the world?” With Green Eggs and Ham, we are working to answer the focus question, “How do books change my life?” We began this focus arc by reading and listening to Green Eggs and Ham. The students worked with a partner to notice what they saw. They then worked with their partner to wonder and create questions. The following day students worked in partners to act out either the problem or resolution to the story.
Take a look at our new ELA curriculum, Wit and Wisdom, at work in 1st grade! They are working through Module one around the essential question: "How do books change lives around the world?"
