Christmas Crafts & Ornaments

Snowman Handprint Ornament-We attached the following poem:

These aren't just five snowmen
As anyone can see.
I made them with my hand
Which is a part of me.
Now each year when you trim the tree
You'll look back and recall
Christmas of 2011
When my hand was just this small!

We turned into elves! -We attached the following poem:

I'm a little elf,

Mischievous as can be.

I’m tiny and I’m sneaky,

As you can surely see.

 I only come around,

When Christmas time is here.

To bring you joy and happiness,

This wonderful time of year!

Merry Christmas!

  Snowman Soup


Was told you've been real good this year.
Always glad to hear it!
With freezing weather drawing near.
You’ll need to warm the spirit.

Complete with stirring stick.
Add hot water, sip it slow.
It's sure to do the trick.

Wes Wyatt visits Paine Primary

Mr. Wyatt told us all about the Fox 6 news station.

We learned about air pressure and clouds.

Air pressure is an important thing to watch when forecasting the weather.

This is a weather balloon. It takes information from the air and helps us predict the weather.

We got to practice telling the weather forecast.

Mailing our letters to Santa!

Air is everywhere

We made parachutes. Air is caught under the parachute so it will slowly float down.

Air can move. We played with bubbles and watch them float through the air.

Me made snowflakes. When the air is cold enough, rain can turn to snow. We actually go to see a few snowflakes this week:)

Air can move things. We made balloon rockets and watched them move.

This baggie can helped us keep the balloon from flying crazy all around the room.

We can capture air inside of a balloon. We can see that air takes up space.

We made whirlers.

When we blew on them, they would spin. Air can make things move in different ways.

Thanksgiving Math

One Little, Two Little, Three Little, Indians...
We counted eyes by 2s and then feathers by 4s.

Look at the math we did with our Indians!

Our turkeys have a lot to talk about since they know how to use "Wow Words"!

These turkeys can count by 5s and 10s!

Learning about Air Pressure


Learning About Air

Did you know that air takes up space?

We can make the stopper pop right out of the end of the syringe by pushing the air through the tube.

We can compress the air into the tube.

We are leaning a lot about air.

The air is so compressed that we can't pull the syringes apart.
