Today was our first day getting to participate in small sticks. We had a great time learning how to dribble and hold our stick correctly.

Swim Sports!!

We had a great day last Friday showing all our parents what we have learned during swimming.

Thank You to all the parents that came out and supported us.

Lots of learning going on during our reading block.

Friday STEM Day!

Today we started our Friday STEM activities in our last block. Here is a little bit about what STEM is and why I feel it is important for my students.

What is STEM? STEM is the future. STEM is science, technology, engineering, and maths. These are all areas of learning that our kids need to be comfortable with to excel in the future. STEM makes creators, thinkers, problem solvers, doers, innovators, and inventors. Exposing kids to simple STEM ideas at an early age today sets a foundation for higher learning tomorrow.

We made straw rockets today. The kids loved launching their rockets to see how far they could go. We had an in class competition to see who could make their straw go the farthest. Lily was the winner! We discussed reasons why we thought some rockets went further than others.

We had a great time in maths today doing a number sense hunt!
