Star Fall in Math


Thanks to our wonderful Vice Principal, Courtney Titus, we are able to access more StarFall. In math I have been using StarFall to begin the class with a counting song. The animations and music are fun. Then I use the number portion of StarFall to introduce and practice a number a week. StarFall.com is free in it's limited form. Try it out, it's fun!!

The Water Cycle







We have been talking about water this month. We are learning that water can change. It can be liquid, a gas when it evaporates, and a solid if frozen. 
The kids got to feel and see water as a liquid. They found they could not pick up a liquid! They also got feel and see water as a solid. Many did not like the cold feel of the ice. And, with the help of our mist maker they could see water in a gas form.
Pretty cool!
