Pictures Coming Soon

Parents,

I tried uploading some pictures of the kids doing the craft with Mrs. McNamara and from Bike Rodeo.  For some reason, there is an error when loading them.  Hopefully this will  be fixed soon so you can see all of the fun and learning that is going on at school!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school!  I can’t believe summer is over and we are already back at school.  I have truly enjoyed getting to know your child the past few weeks.  They are all so sweet and such a joy to have in class!  We are very excited for Open House, Aug. 27th, to show parents all of the great things that we are learning and working so hard on.  Please make sure that your child is reading and studying their multiplication facts every night.  I hope to see you and your child at the PTA meeting tomorrow night, Aug. 13th, at 6:30pm.

Measuring Mass with a Triple Beam Balance

Today, we learned how to use a triple beam balance!  Students practiced measuring the mass of objects that we found around our room.  We also learned how to measure the mass of liquids.  Students found this to be more challenging because there are a few steps to perform before determining the mass of a liquid.

Dinner Table Talk:

  • What is mass?  How is it different from weight?
  • How can you mass a liquid using a triple beam balance?
  • What is the first thing you to a triple beam balance before measuring the mass of an object or liquid?
  • What unit is used to measure mass?  How is it abbreviated?
  • What rider on the triple beam balance do you move first?  How do you know where to place it?

 

4th and 5th Grade Track Meet

Yesterday, our 4th and 5th graders had their track meet!  They all did such a great job in their event and demonstrated excellent sportsmanship the entire time!  I am so proud of everyone who participated and enjoyed being there with you.

Look how well we did!!!

We were cheering from the stands!

The boys took a moment to say, “Cheese!”
