Patterns

Here's a couple of our students in their pattern shirts. 

Following directions with song and dance!

It's always great to practice following directions, even if it's through a fun song and dance! Here's what we practiced today.

Here is part of it on video. The password is Demsky.

Fire safety

Here are some pictures from our fire safety assembly. 

Some children practiced stop, drop and roll! 

I was in a contest with Mrs. Wintersteller to put in the fire gear!

I won! Mr. Sheldon even got a chance to race!

Sense of smell

We did an experiment where each table had three cups that appeared to be water. We used our sense of smell to discover the truth! 

Cup A had a few drops of imitation clear vanilla. Cup B was water. Cup C had vinegar. 

The pictures of the first whiffs of vinegar are priceless! 

Johnny Appleseed Day

On Friday we taste tested different apples with cider and apple juice. 

We then made a chart with tally marks! 

Our class perfered cider. If you want to review tally marks with your student, the easiest way to remember when to cross is to use your hand. 

Always cross on 5's, just like your thumb!

We also created a graph for our favorite apple. We had to choose between red, green and yellow. 

We began to have a conversation about "how many more people like red apples to green?". I explained that if you draw an imaginary line (see the black dotted line above) that you can count from there. Your student will see similar questions to this on future assessments so it's a great way to practice!
