We are devising a new game to practice our time telling skills called, "Check Your Watch!" It is played like Go-Fish, but with clock cards! The kids played a round of the game today to help us solidify rules and get the hang of it. They really enjoyed having some fun with their friends while they practiced telling time!
Each player chose ten cards (that show pictures of clocks or show a time) from a face-down pile in the center of each table.
Rotating CLOCKWISE :) each player took a turn asking another for a time they held in their hands in order to make a match.
If they were able to make a match, they laid the match on the table and asked another player for a time. If the player did not have the matching card, they responded to the request with "Check Your Watch!" and the asking player chose a new card from the face-down pile in the center of the table.
The students had a lot of fun matching times with clocks and got some extra practice at time-telling!

Since we are starting to work on telling time in math and because...well, it's just so much fun, we decided to play some "Minute-to-Win-It" games for Valentine's Day! We had so many wonderful parent helpers and the kids did a great job of rotating through all the activities - we had a blast!
Kolleana shows off her balancing skills playing "Going Steady".
Ian hooked 5 noodles on a piece of spaghetti (without hands!) playing "Through Thick and Thin".
Can you stack a tower of 21 cups in under a minute?
Thanks to all the parents and volunteers who helped make our first annual "Minute-to-Win-It" a huge success! The kids had a wonderful time (and the custodian didn't kill me the next day!)

The township water department came and taught us about aquifers and how to help protect our groundwater from contamination.
It was very interesting to learn about containment layers, wells, and water towers!
To help us remember how it all goes together, we made edible aquifers!
We used Sprite in the bottom of the cup to represent the ground water way below the surface. Then a scoop of ice cream represented the containment layer.
On top, we use crushed Oreos as top soil, marshmallows as rocks and sprinkles as dirt to show all the things that can be above ground on top of our water.
Finally, we pushed a "well" - a straw down through all the layers to get to our groundwater.
Yum!
