Each Monday, Miss Bird’s Fifth Grade class gets to mentor Mrs. Jorgensen’s class become learners. Last week they interviewed each other in a get to know you activity. This week they celebrated Columbus Day by making Hats. The fifth graders look forward to helping the second graders with reading, writing and math.

This week we did a STEM activity in the first grade. After reading "The Three Little Pigs" we built homes for our piglets using only "dot" candy and toothpicks. We then tested them against the huff and puff of the wolf! (blow dryer). First, they made a plan of how to build, then we tested and went back to the drawing board to make our designs even stronger. Finally, we built once more! ALL their houses withstood the blow dryer by the end! Woo hoo!

Mrs. Ramos' is class is learning about comparing and contrasting with our reading.  So, Mrs. Palmer (our GAINS visual art specialist) taught us how to compare and contrast warm and cool colors.   The students had a great time, and their own art really helped solidify the concept.

Jack Smith always listens and contributes in class, Maverick York straightened up our ipads and helped classmates pick up centers, Wesley Martin was very kind and helped clean up the room and also helped stack chairs, Lydia Kmetzch works hard on all of her classwork and has a very positive attitude, Dominick Mortensen was determined to stay on task and he completed his work in enrichment, Brayden Smith took down all the chairs in the whole class to help, Chloe Parker always

This is a huge project about following detailed verbal directions. The houses start out as paper, are copied onto pieces of card stock, cut out, and then assembled in class. Our haunted house village this year was called Haunted Hills. Then we (Mrs. Bird and myself) spray paint them out behind the school during planning time. After they dry, we have a class party where we decorate them--in record time--while listening to Halloween music.  

Second grade students have been learning about colors.  They know that the primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.  They know that you can mix the primary colors and make secondary colors. The secondary colors are orange, green, and purple.  In class all students made a Primary Colors Quilt as well as mixing Play-Doh to make a secondary color wheel. Probably the most fun was learning how to play a Primary Color song and the "C" scale on Glockenspiels.  Come check out our 2nd grade hall to see their artwork.

Dominick Mortensen had amazing behavior with the substitute teacher, he was respectful, helpful and polite, Tavia Gallagher helped a classmate get caught up with her classwork, Amelia Crawford, Olivia Milligan, Sidney Brooks, & Gavin Cottle helped to clean up the music class for Mrs.

Miss Bird’s fifth grade class is working hard to learn the “magic” way to multiply.  In fourth grade the students learn different methods, like partial products and the open area model.  This year the students are learning the standard algorithm and practicing like crazy. These students struggled at first, because they were used to their fourth grade ways, but they picked it up quick and are doing amazing.
