How-To Blow a Bubble

This week, we started a new genre of writing called non-fiction. We have graduated from writing small moments and have now focused our writing on teaching others about topics that are important to us. We started with a similar task (blowing a bubble) and here is how they turned out:) Enjoy!

You will need a piece of gum.
First...take the wrapper off the gum and stick it in your mouth.

Then, chew the gum into the shape of a circle.

Flatten the gum with your tongue and move it to the top of your mouth.

Next, move the gum to the back of your front top teeth and front bottom teeth.

Stick your tongue out through your teeth and blow air through your mouth. Make sure to hold the gum steady with your lips!

Last, hold the bubble with your lips!

Miss Cain has one!!!

We tried and tried, but some of us needed more practice:)

Zach made a bubble!

Here is what our finished product looks like.

We had a blast at our Valentine's Party! Not only did we get to have a yummy treat, but we had a chance to play games and do a craft. We played Valentine's Day BINGO and had a great time opening up our Valentine's from one another. 
















Thank you to all the parents and organizers of our Holiday parties this year! We appreciate you very much!

Happy 100's Day!

Happy 100's Day!
February 13th marked the 100th day of school! Can you believe it's going this fast? To celebrate, we brought in 100 things and did several fraction, counting, grouping, and graphing activities with our 100 things. Some of us were very creative with what we brought! We learned how to group these "things" in 5's, 10's, 25's, and 50's.
