Mrs. Gonzalez class along with the other 4th grades has learned to write diamanté poems. We had a fun and beautiful snowflake art project to go with the Snow poem. Some Diamonte  poems start and end the same. Others choose to make them end opposite. Either way we get lost of fun practice using adjectives, verbs, & nouns.

  

The past few weeks 3rd grade has been celebrating one of our nation's heroes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We haven been working on writing our own biographies about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and added a fun "pop art" project to portray this great man! The prompt that they responded to was, "How has Martin Luther King Jr. changed our world for the better?" It's been a really fun couple of weeks learning about all he did for our nation, and his fight for equality. He truly did change our world for the better and is a bright example of kindness and bravery to stand up for what is right.

This year the science core for first grade changed and we have all been enjoying it!  We get to discover and experiment with different things.  This month we are learning about light and sound.   Last week, we experimented with sound and learned that  vibrations make sound and sound creates vibrations.  This week we were experimenting with light.  The students were asked to make a small lightbulb illuminate, or light up.  They could only use the supplies that were on the table.  After much discussion and trial we learned how to make a potato battery
