Can you light a lightbulb with two wires and a battery? We can!

Happy Halloween! 👻

Students created group goals to help them accomplish a task!

My students came up with possible designs for our classroom door for fall. Then, they voted on their favorite. This is our winner!

Thank you, @_MsPalucki for helping us make book trailers for our recently publish fiction stories!

We have been learning all about energy in science! Our favorite explore activity was making instruments to show how mechanical energy can be transferred into sound energy.

What a great start of a new school year! We played games to get to know each other and talked about ways to make sure everyone feels included!

Penguins in the Amazon?! 🐧🌴 Some of the penguins went on a field trip to meet other animals at Shedd. Wellington seemed most interested in the fishes in Amazon Rising! The black-barred silver dollars also seemed interested in their unusual visitor.

Our special guest readers taught us so much about how to treat the world and “otters”. @Ms_Young_Melzer
