Scientists in Action
Mrs. Fillette’s class practiced using our “I Wonder” Circle as we wondered, thought, tried, observed, recorded, discovered, and wondered again! Students were given lots of random supplies to explore and wonder about. Students created and tested their own experiments! We are scientists in action!
Kindergarten
First Grade Field Trip to Howell
First grade students took a field trip to Howell Living History Farm. While there, they learned about corn farming from the early 1900’s. Students picked, shelled, and ground corn. In the kitchen, they cooked and ate popcorn, churned milk into butter, gathered wood for the fire and eggs from the chicken coop. They also cooked and ate delicious corn bread. First graders learned that children on the farm had many chores and worked hard to help keep the farm running.
Quest Class
Students in Quest use their design skills to craft boats. From planning and collaborating to eventually trial and error students, figure out what works best.
Mrs. Fillette's Class
In connection with this week’s Good Habits, Great Readers shared reading book, Shadows, Mrs. Fillette’s class went outside for a shadow hunt. Students drew shadows and discovered what creates a shadow.
Halloween
