Elements

Our students are learning about elements and are being introduced to the Periodic Table. They went on an element hunt to learn as much as they could about their specific element. With their information, they created a mini poster to teach the class about their element!

Outdoor Fun!

As you know, this past week was exceptionally HOT outside! As a fun way to end the week, our class played Drip, Drip, Slash. It is just like Duck, Duck, Goose, but with WATER! This game is great for hot days. Instead of touching the heads of those not picked, they have a little bit of water from a cup dropped on their head. The person who gets picked gets the rest of the cup poured on their head. The person who gets the cup poured on them, then chases the pourer around the circle. If the pourer makes it back to their seat safely without getting tagged, they are safe. If they do get tagged, they have to sit in the middle of the circle until someone else is tagged.

 

Student Council Elections

The past few weeks, our class has had many students who have been getting reading to run for student council. They have gone to informational meetings, designed posters, and wrote speeches about why they are qualified for the position they are running for.

Today, our class had the opportunity to listen to all of the candidates running for office give their speeches. Our class came prepared with their mini clipboards to take notes, so they could vote for the most qualified candidate.

Below are the students in our class giving their speeches, as well as some who were campaign managers!
