Open House a Splendid Success!

Which Project was your favorite?

Our posters show the three branches of the U. S. Government, Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. We drew pictures of the places where these branches do their work: the Capitol Building, the White House, and the Supreme Court. The poster includes an American History Time line showing from the American Revolution up to the Bill of Rights.

These are our biography models and reports from the 1500's to the 2000's. From Abigail Adams to Thomas Jefferson, all of these people were talented and performed extreme acts. For the report we first took notes, then wrote a rough draft, and finally wrote the final report. Some people typed and some chose to write in cursive.




Our cold, yummy frozen fractions include math using fractions and our creative flavors. We all got to pick our own flavors and the number of scoops to make, either 6 or 8. No matter how many scoops or flavors we used, we learned that whenever the numerator is the same as the denominator, it equals one whole SUNDAE!

Our class wrote delicious, tasty, and fun restaurant stories. These restaurants were visited by our favorite Reading Counts characters. The stories involved a menu and a neat receipt. We even drew how the restaurants looked, and they looked awesome!




These are our fantastic 3 - D shape projects. When writing about our two favorite 3 - D shapes, we had to create an outline, write a rough draft, type it on our alphasmarts, and then download it onto the computer. We worked as hard as beavers working to build a dam. The shapes we created are made from paper or styrofoam.




These time lines show some of the first quicker moving modes of transportation in the United States. The wagon that can move only 2 miles per hour, the train that can accelerate up to 35 mph, the automobile that can rapidly move up to 70 mph, and the quickest of all, the jet that can zoom up to 600 mph were all drawn by us! These machines assist the whole world in getting to locations very swiftly.




These are our paragraphs about people we most admire. We each chose one person that we knew very well. Most of us wrote about family members or friends. High - level vocabulary, sentence variety, clauses, similes, and alliteration were all writing strategies we included in our paragraphs. The paragraphs were typed on our alphasmarts, downloaded onto the computer, and borders were added.




These fantastic, well-written paragraphs are about things, people, and abilities that are more precious to us than a pot of gold. We chose three different objects, beloved people, or special talents to write about. On the pot there are coins to which we added shiny gold glitter. Truly, these paragraphs came from our hearts!






These projects show our studies of specific animals from four different habitats: desert, grasslands, rain forest, and ocean. We wrote and typed multiple paragraphs about animal behavior and adaptations. Then we added jpegs. We all had a great time learning about these awesome animals.




Our animal habitats present the wonderful animals doing what they would most likely do on a daily basis. The four delightful habitats and animals were all hand - made by our classmates. The ocean also includes fish which each of us sculpted with specific coloration adaptations. We worked hard to make our habitats as realistic as possible. To finish off our project, we included a haiku poem about each animal in its wild habitat.
