Christmas Party 2010

We played Christmas Pictionary, and then Mrs. Himelrick read How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  When she said "Who," we had to pass our gifts to the right.

Miss Judy makes sure we are passing the gift to the RIGHT when we hear "Who."

The gifts are opened and now we can eat.

Mrs. Stewart helps pass out the snack.

Our parents enjoy the party too!

Ornaments

Mrs. Ranson helps us make ornaments for a gift for our parents.

Winter Wonderland

Mrs. Stewart helps us make winter wonderlands out of marshmallows.

Geometry

We eat our healthy snack and finish creating our shapes with triangles and rectangles.  We tried to make a square, retangle, triangle, rhombus, kite, trapezoid, parallelogram, 4 pointed star, and our own creation. 

Mrs. Weigand helps Austin.

Smokey the Bear

Brayden remembers what we learned about forest fires when she spots this sign while traveling with her family.  Thanks Mom for climbing the embankment so we could see this picture!

Thermometers

     Temperature tells if it is hot or cold.  The temperature outside has been very low lately.  That means it has been cold.  We've been keeping track on a graph.  In October and September we had more warm temperatures.  In November we've had more cold temperatures.  Celsius makes more sense.  Fahrenheit doesn't make as much sense.  Only the U.S.A. uses Fahrenheit.  Most other countries use Celsius.  We measure the temperature of hot water and icy water.  We watched the temperatures rise and fall.  Room temperature was about 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 24 degrees Celsius.   Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Celsius.  Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit and 100 degrees Celsius.

Tissue Art

Mrs. Stewart read some poems from Animals, Animals and showed us the artwork by Eric Carle.  She demonstrated how Eric Carle makes his pictures and then we made some too. 

Maddie and Kamran cut tissure shapes and then painted over them with vinegar. 
Our whole class results are below.  They turned out great!

 Look at us!  We are ready to parade.
