Happy Advent! We are celebrating in the classroom by learning the stories of the Jesse Tree. So far, we've heard about the creation, Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, with many more still to come. We are also going to weekly prayer services with the whole school. We've been practicing for our Christmas concert as well, which will be this Sunday at 4:00. Please have your child there by 3:45 so we are all ready when it begins.
Last week in science, students conducted balloon races to learn about variables, data, and making predictions in science. This is one of the lesson ideas I learned from my classes with the Museum of Science and Industry. As you can tell from the pictures, they had a lot of fun!
In science, we are learning about the weather and taking measurements using instruments we made, such as a barometer, anemometer, and wind vane. We will have a test on this on December 20. We're finishing up reading How to Eat Fried Worms, and will be completing some projects for this book next week, such as creating new book covers and performing plays. Their sequence worms for the books will be due on Tuesday. I told the students that if they're really lucky, they'll get to eat some fried worms, too!
Before Thanksgiving, we were able to get together with our buddies to color some turkeys. Those pictures are below.

DeleteI'm glad you like the blog, Javon! Feel free to comment on anything. I think it would be fun if you would leave comments about what you thought about an activity I mentioned above, especially from a student's point of view.
