We went to the MN History Center this week. The students did such a wonderful job of representing our school in a positive way! We had an interesting lesson on how common tools used long ago. Each child got to participate in the lesson and touch/try the various tools/items.

This week we reviewed classroom expectations and procedures. In health, we are discussing how to manage stress. In science, we have been using the MN Field Guides to complete a few of the pages in our own Bird Guide books.

Week 17: Jan. 2-6, 2012

Happy New Year and welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful winter break. Students have been looking for birds in the school courtyard, but most of us always seem to miss seeing them, even though we hear there are a lot of bird visiting the courtyard this winter. We took some time to update our science blog on Friday. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do! We love it when people comment on our posts. http://kidblog.org/Rm17ScienceBlog11-12/

Week 16: Dec. 19-23, 2011

This week we finished our 3D landform maps in Social Studies. The students loved the project and worked very hard. We made bird feeders to take home during science on Tuesday. We hope the birds enjoy them! On Wednesday and Thursday we took some time to celebrate all of our hard work before winter break.
