Science!!!

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on
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

Fun with Morse Code and Frequency

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on
Our class has been treated to learn about Morse Code and Frequency from the Johnson's.  The students have learned how to say and sign their names in Morse Code.  They even got to make their own Morse Code devices.  We had a great time playing Hangman as a way to learn the Morse Code alphabet.  The students would guess letters not by saying them, but by signing them on their Morse Code devices.  It was so neat!  We are so grateful to the Johnson family for taking the time to teach our class something new!
