When Learning Takes Flight!

To commemorate the Wright Brother's first flight and perseverance as early inventor's we had a paper airplane S.T.E.M. challenge in which students were to build a paper airplane that would fly the farthest! We then went outside to test our planes and see who the victor would be!    

Now and Ben! Famous Inventors!

This week we are learning about inventors. First up, Ben Franklin! We learned about all of the wonderful ways he contributed to early America and the inventions he made that have changed out lives! 

Doubles Rap Coming at Ya!

We are learning addition strategies and decided to spice things up with a doubles rap! We made a poster  to use in class and sent home doubles facts flash cards to study as well as the rap! The outcome was perfect!! Check out our little rappers and snag a copy of our rap resources here. Doubles Rap Resources
