We had such fun on Valentine's Day!! We played "Minute-to-Win-It" games!

We stacked Fruit Loops on popsicle sticks...

We stacked cups...

We tried to scoop up rigatoni with linguini noodles!

We made smiley faces with M&Ms!

We tried to get a Nilla Wafer from our head to our mouth without using our hands!

AND we had ice cream sundaes!!

Laughing with our friends was a great way to spend an afternoon!

We had a whole bunch of 100's today!
We are all so proud of the hard work that has gone into learning our math facts! 
Way to go BUGS!!

Today we put all our learning about erosion into hands-on experiments!

Today we tried our hand at creating erosion.  We built some landforms in sand (mountains, hills, plateaus, valleys...) and then we saw the effects of wind erosion on those landforms. 

We also found out how water can change the earth.  Again, we built some landforms in sand, and then it "rained" down on our land and we saw how the sand moved with the rain water!

We tried to think of ways to prevent the water erosion.  We made paths for the water to travel, like rivers and streams.  This helped the water to stay where we wanted it and to not erode other areas.

We also researched ways that wind, water and ice can change our world and we found evidence to show if those were slow or fast changes!  Researching is an important part of science!

After our salt dough landforms dried, we painted them.

It was fun to paint the hills...

...put lava on our volcanos...

...paint our plateaus...

...and make mountains!

Then we put our landforms on our maps!

We now had examples of glaciers, gulfs, oceans...

...volcanos, hills, mountains...


...islands, bays, plateaus...

...valleys, lakes and rivers.

We loved this hands-on science project that really helped us understand the differences in bodies of water and landforms!
