Happy Halloween!

Although Halloween is not actually until tomorrow, we got to dress up a little early. Yesterday, we had "Book Character Dress Up" day! Everyone looked great! We had such a variety of great costumes, and most important, we had fun showing ourselves off! Here's look at our costumes...

Hot or Cold?

We did an awesome experiement in Science last week. We had jars of hot and cold water. We colored the cold water blue and the hot water yellow. First, we put the cold water on top of the hot water and the colors mixed right away because the cold water is heavier than the hot. The water became green. Next, we put the hot water on top of the cold water. It was so cool, because the colors didn't mix! We made predictions about how long it would take for the colors to mix. It took longer than we expected! Finally, the water cooled down enough for the colors to mix. It was a great Science lesson!

Science Fun!

We have been having so much fun learning about Matter, Mixtures and Solutions. We made a delicious fruit "mixture!" It helped us to see that we can separate a mixture, but not a solution! Yesterday, we used different tools such as magnets to try to separate a mixture of sand, gravel and iron filings. After lots of work, it was a success!

A Bad Case of...

These first weeks of school have been busy!! It has also been a lot of fun! We have been working on a fun writing activity this week, based off of the book, A Bad Case of Stripes, by David Shannon. It is one of my favorites!! We started planning by listing all of the foods that we love and drawing ourselves with the "stripes!" We used those ideas to write our own stories. They are amazing!! Here is some of our work!

 



A New Adventure!

I am so excited to start this new school year, knowing that we will go through through this new adventure together! Last year was so much fun, and I can't wait to spend another year with all of you! We will be working hard, getting ourselves ready for the STAAR test, but we will be having a blast! I'm so ready to kick off our new adventure!!

Love Ms. Wolff

Charlotte's Web

My favorite time in the year is when we get to read Charlotte's Web. It is by far one of my favorite books! As the year is winding down, we just had the chance to finish reading. We all loved this great story, especially, the amazing characters and examples of friendship. There are many great things to do with this book, and we made webs with character traits that described Charlotte. Here are some of the webs we created!

Earth Day!

 

Our PTA program was a huge success! The performance was great! I am so proud of all of you! The singing was right on key and you all looked perfect!
