Celebrating 100 days!

This week in Social Studies we learned about our nation's capital city, Washington, D.C. 

I gave all of the students air-dry clay to create their own monuments or statues...but mostly they just had fun with the clay!

Puzzle time😀

Cassie Gerber brought her amazing selection of instruments in to Music class this week! 

On Tuesday we learned about Abraham Lincoln and how he grew up in a log cabin...

Hence, the Lincoln Logs😁

On Wednesday, we celebrated the Firsties 100th day!

They searched for 100 Hershey's kisses...

They made t-shirts with 100 fingerprints...

They used 100 popsicle sticks to create...don't worry, the hot glue guns were low-temp!

They made words from the letters 

H-U-N-D-R-E-D-D-A-Y-S...

Used 100 buttons...

Made necklaces from 100 beads...

This was the first class I've ever had finish the 100 train...Yay!

Stacked 100 cups...

Made porcupines with 100 "quills"...

Whew! What a day!

Lastly, this week during Science, we learned about the wind and then made our own wind...

 

An American Winter!

 During Social Studies this week, we learned about some symbols of our country: American flag, the bald eagle, and Mount Rushmore.

Then we made American flag wind socks...

We also learned about our first president, George Washington, and painted giant quarters!

Firsties continued their safety unit during Health, and we talked about street safety.

They created some pretty cool looking bicycle helmets!

 After learning about snow, during Science, we made snow cones!
