Field Trip and Stepping Stones

Yesterday the whole Blue Jays group went to Louisville Nature Center for their second field trip! We went on a hike and tested dirt samples. We learned about the three types of dirt- clay, soil, and silt. When we got back to the school, we made our stepping stones. Every group made their own stone and decorated them using marbles and broken plates. some people made their own stones, too. We had lots of fun! The steppingstones will be ready and dry by Friday. I can't wait to see how they come. out. they will be in our Peace Garden when they are finished.

End of the JV Volleyball season

Social Studies Research

On Thursday and Friday, students will be going to the library to start their historical figures research assignment. Each student will choose a person in history and research where and when that person lived and learn about why their historical figure is important. We will do the majority of the research and rough draft writing at school, and students will be creating their final drafts for homework. Students will be required to submit a list of resources and are asked to only use valid internet resources (no wikipedia, etc.). Note taking for research will be done in student's social studies notebooks. It is extremely important that they have their notebooks every day in class so that they can work on their project as they finish their weekly assignments.

These assignments will be due Thursday, September 29th. Now that I have a better idea of my students' abilities - this date will be set in stone (other dates have been flexible as I have been getting to know students and learning what they are capable of). Please e-mail me with any questions!

Milk Weed Bugs

This week, we built habitats for our Milk Weed Bugs. All the habitats come out amazing! Some of the eggs that the bugs layed are now hatching. Every table group made it's own habitat with water, sticks, cotton, and sunflower seeds for food. Each groups habitat started out with two bugs each. We will also be observing the bugs with a magnifying glass. Hopefully all the bugs will love their new habitat!

Dance Tryouts

Yesterday we had dance tryouts in the small gym. Many of the Montessori kids made the team including Zipporah, Desha, Savi, and Johnasia. Ms. Houston is the dance coach. The first practice will be next Wednesday. I'm  sure the dance team will be great this year!! Wish them luck!!!
