What a bunch of Turkeys!

This is hilarious! I brought in two turkey legs for my science group to explore... they thought it was the coolest thing until it came time to touch them. Ha ha kids. Gotta love them!

K-9 "Kraziness"

Earlier in the year we read the story "Areo and Officer Mike". This story tells about how a police officer works side-by-side with his K-9 dog. At the time we read the story, our school resource officer came to talk to us about his job and how dogs are used in the police force. This week, the K-9 officers were able to bring their dogs for more conversation and demonstration. This was a great way for our students to connect with their community.... they absolutely loved it!

Dinosaur Ridge

This years field trip was to Dinosaur Ridge. Here our students were able to show their knowledge about dinosaurs, fossils, and rock layers. Our tour guides told us many facts and showed pictures, maps and artifacts. The kids had a blast and we came home with a few future paleontologists!

Grocery Getters

My math students have been hard at work solving real world problems. This week our focus has been on the grocery store and how to calculate prices with fractions and discounts. For this activity my students used a weekly King Soopers ad to find discount totals. This was a super fun and engaging activity!
