Inquiring Minds





Our Unit of Inquiry, Sharing the Planet, continues to take us on a fun journey filled with great questions, wonders and investigations!  The water cycle, rain barrels, using bricks in toilet tanks, the use of sprinklers and the importance of using just what we need have been interesting topics of study to support our Central idea (The conservation of water helps people and other living things)!
A fascinating bit of information we have come upon is that one fast food meal uses 1, 375 gallons of water.  We are trying to figure out just why that is and what we could do to decrease that amount.


Thank you Miss. Melissa for reading your great book and the fun art project you did with  Mrs. Snyder's class

Our lessons in Mandarin have supported our central as well.  We have listened to interesting books and are learning all about fruit and animals during our classes.  

Busy Times in Math

We are still working away on our understanding of addition and subtraction problems.  We are ready for FIRST grade!

Measuring is always a popular center! It's amazing how comparisons evolve from what is discovered!



Special Guests

Having Bootsy Collins come to our school was such a fun treat!  We enjoyed his message and listening to our choir sing his songs.  



Healthy Smiles from Case Western University came by to see our Kindergarten and 1st grade classes.  Brushing our teeth the right way is so important!  

Thank You Mystery Readers!
