It has been awhile since I've posted, and I have a lot of pictures to share with you. We had a lot of fun in the weeks leading up to Winter Break doing some holiday and winter themed activities. Thank you to everyone who donated supplies for these events! Check it out!
Makerspace Activities
We spent some time being creative by building with different makerspace tools. We also were able to join our 1st grade buddies one day to create with them.
Gingerbread Houses
We had so much, and maybe a little too much sugar during this activity! The kids used some graham crackers, icing, and candy to design, build, and decorate their own house.
Winter Party
At the winter party, we had an igloo building contest and enjoyed some pizza and cupcakes. During our final days before break, our students were also gifted some books!
The Science Behind Pancakes
In science, as part of our matter unit, we learned about the chemical reactions that happen when making pancakes. Students then followed a recipe and measured and mixed the batter for their own pancakes.
STEAM Challenge
Last week I challenged the kids to work together in groups and use a small amount of supplies to make a skier attached to skies that could ski down a hill. They had 20 minutes to build, and then we held a downhill skiing race, and it was a blast. They were so creative with this activity.
