On Friday, we worked with 2/3W on our second STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activity. Students had to create a slingshot out of rubber bands, popsicle sticks and pom poms! 

STEM

Last week, we completed our first STEM activity. STEM is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education. STEM education is an integrated interdisciplinary approach to learning that provides hands on relevant learning experiences for students. Our first STEM challenge was to use toothpicks and mini marshmallows to build the tallest tower possible.

Mindfulness in the Classroom

Throughout the school year we will be incorporating mindfulness activities in the classroom.We started off by reading, "Good Morning Sunshine," by Trina Markusson.  Last week, we chose our mindfulness critters to help us with our belly breathing.Throughout the year we will be learning different mindfulness strategies that will be incorporated in our daily routines. 

First week of School

We spent the first week of school getting back into the groove! We learned routines & procedures, completed a play-doh puzzler activity, made first day of school crowns and enjoyed some Jitter Juice!
