A big thank you to both the Latimer & Coulter Fire Departments for coming out to teach students about fire safety. 2nd grade students were thrilled to try aiming the fire hose & learn more about the tools they use.
Kindergarten enjoyed fire safety day this morning. Even all got a turn spraying the hose!
Fat Bear Week! Who knew you can vote for the fattest bear in the National Parks in Alaska that exemplify brown bear fatness and readiness for winter?🐻 4th grade started a new math unit about fractions and got to make apple crisp from the apples we picked at Carlson Tree Farm!
1st grade has been learning about how light travels. This week they started exploring with how to make light reflect. They will get to use this knowledge to solve the problem of getting light to the bottom of a canyon.
3rd grade was thrilled to hear a pirate story from Ms. Lamos, CAL's new librarian.
2nd grade scientists began their investigation to discover why land is moving and what is causing it. This week, they made observations while testing their possible causes: wind and water.
Franklin County Farm Bureau held another fabulous AG Fair for 3rd grade students in the area. Our CAL students were very engaged in learning throughout the afternoon.
More pictures from today's AG Fair, held for 3rd graders in our area.
A few more AG Fair pictures from CAL 3rd graders.
First grade was a big help cleaning out the watermelon patch this morning! They found lots of watermelons for the fruit and veggie bar this week!
1st and 2nd grade got to be the first ones to try out the new playground equipment! They loved it!!
4th grade had a blast picking apples with 2nd grade at Carlson Tree Farm. Thank you for inviting us! Homecoming week was busy with drones, dress up days (even our class 'pet' got into the spirit), and trying out our BRAND NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT! It was a big hit!
2nd grade has been exploring Ozobots. They learned about an Ozobot’s hardware, practiced their coding skills, and used an Ozobot to help them create their own fairy tale in Reading.
5th and 6th grade science has been exploring the phenomenon of nurse logs. They got to investigate real nurse logs, and are taking a closer look at one important component of nurse logs, moss! This has been a fun, hands on start to the year!
1st grade has been working very hard on practicing their independent reading skills. Check out the cozy spots they've been using to practice. We even had some guinea pigs to read to during our time last week.
Kindergarten went to the gym for reading to play a version of duck duck goose with compound words like cupcakes and bathroom!
First grade has been exploring light in science. This week they got to figure out what happens when you shine a light on different materials. They discovered some items let no light through, some let all light through, and others let some light through. They are leaning the words transparent, translucent, and opaque!
Third grade has been given the task of starting new plants for our tower garden. They started by learning that seeds for the tower garden are started differently than seeds for our garden plants. They explored some of the different materials we use like rock wool and vermiculite, and made charts about their observations. They'll care for their sprouts for about 4 weeks, and then move them into the tower garden!
