Kickball Game!

  On Thursday we had our kickball game with our 4th grade partners. We went out to the ball field first thing this morning and we played kickball! The game was quick pace and fun! We spent some time learning about the kickball game before we played. Our 4th grade partners helped us with the rules. We are happy to report that the students exhibited good sportsmanship and were supportive of each other today. We LOVE to see that at school. Great job kindergartners and 4th graders! We enjoyed a freeze pop together after the game.

Protect the Popsicle Engineering Challenge

 

To go along with our Protect the Earth CKLA unit we have been learning some science facts and we touched upon the water cycle. We are learning about the states of water, liquid, solid and gas. Tuesday morning the kindergartners worked with their 4th grade partners to discuss, plan and build a shade structure to protect the popsicle. On Tuesday afternoon, we tested out our structures. It took about 6 minutes for the control freeze pop to completely melt. We then took the freeze pops out of the structures and measured how much of the freeze pop melted. The students enjoyed eating their own freeze pop while the control pop melted in the sun. Then we went over all the results We had a successful challenge! Great job everyone!
