Cozy Pajama Day!

What a perfect day for wearing pajamas to school! There are low gray clouds outside, and there have been rumors of snow in the forecast!






Nothing's more fun that reading a book on a carpet mat in your pj's!

Best buds!

Thanksgiving Songs!



Albuquerque, he's my turkey
And he's feathered, and he's fine
And he wobbles and he gobbles
And I'm awfully glad he's mine
He's the best pet
You could ever get
Better than a dog or cat
Albuquerque, he's my turkey
And I'm awfully glad of that





The pilgrims came across the sea
From England, far away
And now we always think of them
When it’s Thanksgiving Day.

The Mayflower was their sailing ship
Across the waves of foam
They landed there on Plymouth Rock
And this was their new home.

The bitter winter was so hard
That many Pilgrims died
By spring they had some growing crops
And Wampanoag friends besides

When harvest came, they were so glad
They learned so many things
Wampanoags joined the feast
And so much food they did bring

So many things they had to learn
All along the way
We’re thankful just like everyone else
For this Thanksgiving Day!

Zoomers & Roller Coasters


Our class made "zoomers" to show that we know how spinning objects use an axis!
It was hard work!













We also made roller coasters out of foam tubes and a marble.
We made loop-de-loops, hills, dips, and spirals!
Gravity keeps the sphere rolling toward the ground, and if you have enough force, the sphere can move up the track!
