DARE

Our class has just started D.A.R.E. with officer chance. That was realy cool. He gave us dare work books and taught us about D.A.R.E. rules and D.A.R.E. decision making model practice in our books. D.A.R.E. means drug abuse resistance education.

We will have D.A.R.E. every Tuesday.

Spike

Spike, our bearded dragon, was brought to school over the weekend. She is at least 3 years old, loves to hide, as  you can see in the pictures below, and best of all, she has a spiny beard! When she first came to school, the students crowded around her. They were so excited to see her! Her "house", actually the cut rock in the picture above, has ledges where she can hide. The other rock has a hole which she can crawl into. The green bowl is the water bowl, the shallow dish is for food, the stick she can climb on. She has long claws, long tail, and spines running down her back. Scroll down for more pictures of her.

Spike's claws.

Favorite place to hide!

Spines on her back.

So sleepy!

Social Studies Investigations

We started our Social Studies Unit on Native Americans this week. To kick off the unit, students worked in groups to explore different resources and preview to predict what we will be learning about. The students really enjoyed going from station to station and exploring the many places we can get information. Check out their learning below:
