Tales Of A 4-5 Something

Hello and welcome to the blog! This is just an update on what we have been doing in Tim’s class. We have moved on from aquaculture and local foods into agriculture where we have been studying worms and now seed dispersal. Most of us are far into our Daily Independent Reading Time Project, or DIRT for short. We are also ending our Food Memoirs. It is exciting to think about our next Writing Workshop project.

Here in the Lower School we had a Halloween Obstacle Course. In the obstacle course there were many games in there and it was great that Mr. Nelson, Mr. Salway, and the parents put it together for us. It was fun and I think a lot of people can agree with me. Probably for most people the bounce house was the best part. The stations were: Bounce house Balance beam Crawl under a hula hoop house Hula hoop ring toss Eyeball toss  Lay on a scooter to get under a bridge And bounce on a yoga ball in a race course circle  The obstacle course was on the Thursday before Halloween. Now you must wish you were there….. BOO  Jax and Aaron

We made a catapult during recess. Here’s how it worked: we took a board and put it on a log. The log was the fulcrum and caused the board to be slanted down. Then we took a pot folded in on itself and put it on the lower end of the board. Next, we took a different log and dropped it down onto the top end of the board. That resulted in the pot getting catapulted into the air.    Here’s a picture of the catapult in action… By Maggie

This week's Kudos was picked by Emma and the name was Maggie! Kudos is an activity that helps us celebrate a classroom. Someone's name is picked from a jar and everyone else has to write a note to the person. The note is something heart warming that we notice. At the end of the week, we get into a circle and the group dumps out the jar of compliments and the writer gets to read the note out loud to the person that was picked. There note then gets taped onto their arms or legs. Are next Kudos will be Tom! Oliver and Elizabeth
