This week our Math classes went beyond paper/pencil to create bar graphs to organize collected data  (levels 4 and 5) and protein balls to practice measuring and fractions (level 3).  We also experimented with making a simple electromagnet.  Bucket drumming rounded out our Friday.   Here are some  tidbits for the week:   VALENTINE’S DAY: We will be exchanging cards.

Hello,   We had a few delightful activities this week beyond the paper and pencil ones.  Marshmallows were enjoyed in 2 different ways–in cocoa and with toothpick creations.  We began an online Math supplement called Happy Numbers. Your child may log in at home if they wish using info given out at school, but it is not mandatory.  We did 2 Science experiments again.  We briefly began bucket drumming for music by getting our hands on the sticks and beating out a beginning rhythm. (I’m hoping to get photos on our Facebook page and Class Dojo of this week’s fun.) [...]

Hello,   Happy New Year!! I hope you enjoyed a blessed Christmas with your family.  May the celebration of our Savior’s birth bring you continued joy in this new year. Speaking of celebrating our Savior’s birth, our children give God the glory when they present the Children’s Service. I do want to share with you, however, that I heard compliments about how well the third and fourth grade knew their parts.  They made this “mama” proud, but more importantly–they praised their Lord!!   Here are some  tidbits for the week:   SINGING: Our next singing opportunity is on Sunday, January [...]
