Our Elegant Party!!!

Learning about letter Ee is alway very exciting!  We learned that letter "e" is another vowel in the alphabet.  We know that vowels are special because they can make two sounds.  We also learned that letter "e" can be magic and remain silent when it appears at the end of words.  We learned that when we make the letter "e" sound we can pretend to crack the egg!  We wanted "e" to be a letter we would never forget so we had an "elegant party".  We discussed how to dress for an elegant party and the manners we needed to use.  We also discussed that elegant parties had special decorations and special party food.

Anxiously awaiting for our Elegant Party to begin!

All dressed up for the special event!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

What a fun day we had on Dr.  Seuss' Birthday.  Several of our kids dressed up like Cat in the Hat, Daisy Head Maisy, Cindy Lou Who, Yurtle the Turtle, Thing 1 and Thing 2! We loved hearing the story, Cat in the Hat, read by a High School student.  Then, we made our own

Cat in the Hat pictures!

Hip Hip Hurray for Dr. Seuss' Birthday!

Dental Health Week!

We had a busy week learning about our teeth.  We learned we must brush, floss and eat good foods so we will have healthy teeth and a beautiful smile.

 We practiced brushing!

 and flossing!



Our taste test!

 We tasted lettuce from our school garden

and broccoli too!

 Even the boys liked broccoli...yum!

And we tasted purple cauliflower from our school garden!

Healthy food is pretty good!!!!

And then we did several experiments!!!

We used Coke and a boiled egg to show how foods can stain our teeth.  We learned how important it is to brush our teeth at least 2 times a day. 

 We observed the egg all week to see

what would happen...

 We used a toothbrush and toothpaste

to clean off the Coke stain!

 Brushing and brushing!

Our egg cleaned up pretty good!

 

The Egg and Vinegar Experiment!

 The vinegar caused the shell of the egg to break down and become soft, the same way that tooth enamel is damaged by acid and bacteria in the mouth.

Brushing every day is the only way to keep this from happening.

After a week in the vinegar we observed

what happened to our egg...

 It's smelly!

 It feels soft!

 It's like a rubber egg!

Wow!

Our Apple "Tooth" Experiment!

We used an apple for a tooth model to demonstrate how a cavity forms.

We learned that if bacteria in your mouth creates a hole in the enamel of a tooth, then that tooth will decay and cause a cavity, similar to what happened to the inside of the apple.

The Tooth Fairy

After reading a book about the tooth fairy we each made our own tooth fairy!  Then, I asked the students, "what does the tooth fairy do with all the teeth she gets"?  And they replied....

Mia L. - she protects them forever!
Cody- she puts them in a treasure box!
Colton- she puts them in a bag at her house!
Hennah - she gets them and cleans them!
Jayda - she gives them to the dentist!
Talaijah - she keeps them in a bag for the dentist!
Brielle - she makes a tooth castle with them!
John - she takes them home and cleans them up!
Madilynn - she collects them to make tooth necklaces!
London - she gets money for them!
Austin - she hides them from everyone!
Mark - she gives them to the dentist!
Angel -she cleans all of them!
Dominic - she puts them in her collection!
Payton Galipp - she keeps them and protects them from germs!
Mikey - she gives them to the poor people!
Emma - she keeps them to remind her of when you were a baby!
Payton Glasgow - she saves them in a bag in a safe place!
Anthony - she throws them away!

Landry - she puts them in packages!

PRESIDENT'S DAY!

HAPPY PRESIDENT'S DAY! 

WE LEARNED ABOUT TWO FAMOUS PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  FIRST ,WE READ ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON. WE FOUND OUT HE WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT AND HIS PICTURE IS ON THE QUARTER AND ON THE DOLLAR!  THEN WE LEARNED ABOUT ABRAHAM LINCOLN.  HE WAS THE 16TH PRESIDENT AND HE GREW UP IN A LOG CABIN.  HE WORE A SPECIAL HAT AND KEPT HIS IMPORTANT PAPERS IN THE TOP OF HIS HAT!  ABRAHAM'S PICTURE IS ON THE PENNY AND ON THE FIVE DOLLAR BILL!

WE THINK IT WOULD BE FUN TO LIVE IN A LOG CABIN JUST LIKE

ABRAHAM LINCOLN!
