Presidents, Artists, and Engineers!

Monday was President's Day, so we started our week by discussing why we have this holiday (Washington & Lincoln's Birthdays) and learning some interesting facts about some of our past presidents.

This was also a good excuse to pull out our Lincoln Logs again:)

  

Here are a few pictures of our class during Reading Centers...

 They worked so diligently during Handwriting that I just had to capture the moment! Such focus:)

 In Social Studies we are learning about Canada and had fun making maple leaf rubbings and the Canadian flag!

 I had a wonderful helper in my class on Tuesday...Des! 

  Artists at work....

In Science we learned that friction happens when objects rub against each other. To test this theory we used ramps, cars, and different types of surfaces. Such as...trash bags...

 Paper towels...

 Bubble wrap (two sizes)...

 Aluminum foil and wax paper....

 And lastly, just plain wood...
