Some Snapshots

So, what have we been doing these past few weeks you ask.

We've used colored counters to learn how to graph raw data.

My classroom got a "college corner" in which Erskine plays a prominent part!










 We studied clouds and made some awesome cloud projects featuring Cirrus, Stratus, and Cumulus clouds.






My fifth graders made some phenomenal Ecosystem projects. They were each assigned an ecosystem (Ocean, Estuary, Forest, Grassland, or Lakes/Ponds) and they build their own ecosystem that clearly showed the biotic and abiotic factors.

The students also put together food chains that were specific to each of the ecosystems.















We studied expanded notation by writing down expanded notation on strips of paper then folding them to show the original number. This really helps students to conceptualize the "expanding" part of expanded notation.






And now, my crowning glory!!                 The Wall of Science!!


(where everyone in the whole school gets to see what we've been doing!!

These are just some of the beautiful projects done by my students.
