Pumpkin Patch

What a beautiful day for a field trip to Stewart Farms! We enjoyed a picnic lunch, a tractor ride to the pumpkin patch (unfortunately the patch was too muddy so they picked pumpkins for us) and some time in the corn maze. The students had a great time! Ask them to show you the honey bee shake :) I have attached a slide with some pictures.

Current IB Planner

We have just started our new IB Planner
 " How We Organize Ourselves" 
  The Central Idea Is : Parts Interact in a System
Our Lines of Inquiry are :
 * Systems have parts that work together
* The parts of a community work together to keep its citizens safe
* Maps are tools that show how places are organized 
* All living things have a life cycle 


We will we be learning about maps, community helpers and plants during this unit. We will be visiting the Pumpkin Patch during this planner to see the life cycle of a pumpkin.

First week

We had a fantastic first week, full of fun and learning! Many students made it up to Super hero status on our behavior chart and all of us got to move our clips up! We practiced silent reading and math centers as well as writing. We also learned how to be a team by working on puzzles. Click the link to see pictures from this week.
