The hike on the 21st of October 2015

This week we went on a field trip to Mt. Philo.  It was great to be outside. It was an easy hike so if you want to go with your families, It would not take up the whole day.  We saw chipmunks in the woods. The view from the top was very pretty. At the top you can see 3 vermont landmarks 1 is Lake Champlain 2 is Champlain Valley and 3 is the Green Mountains.

In math this week we leaned place value in the hundred thousands.  Some of us did Fasttmath for math menu.

On oct 10th 2015 we shared our stories with our kindergarten buddies and helped them write theirs.

In science this week we are building salt dough maps.  Using the salt dough makes the mountains come to life!

This week we went to the Maritime Museum. We looked at old stories of shipwrecks and went on a replica of the gunboat Philadelphia. It was a great day!

We did a team building activity. Ms. E tied our hands together and we wrapped a present. It was easier than we expected. We learned about proper team communication.

We broke up into groups and started making foodwebs with cards. The cards had animals and information about what they eat and get eaten by. We learned that some animals can be taken out of an ecosystem without causing it to collapse.

Check back next week to see our new notices!
