Force and Motion

Investigation #1
Today we introduced the concept of force and motion.  Students had to come up with a plan for how to move a heavy box of blocks to the top of the play structure. They drew their plan before we went outside to investigate. Kindergarten scholars came up with great ideas to test out. A lot of our ideas involved working together to move the box. We also liked the idea of using a rope to help us move it. We learned that we can move things by pushing or pulling them.

Snow Motion

The weather cooperated today and we were able to go skiing and snowboarding at Cochran's. 
The students were thrilled to be on the slopes.  It was a great first day for us.  Thank you to all the volunteers that came to help us get ready and to help us on the slopes.  We appreciate it.  Thank you Mr. Godfrey for arranging Snow Motion.  We love it!

Snow People

Kindergarten students met with their fourth grade buddies in Ms. Senning's class this morning to plan and create snow people.  They had a variety of materials to choose from, including plastic flowers, buttons, pom poms, felt and ribbon.  Each snow person had to be the same height as the kinderbuddy.  You can tell from the pictures that fourth graders and kindergartners had a great time working together on this project.  These wonderful snow people are hanging in the hallway outside our classroom and in the hallway by the cafeteria.  Thank you fourth grade buddies.
