MATH!

Ms. Head's math group is working out algebraic expressions!

 Algebra is FUN!

Adaptations

The Serpents have begun talking about Charles Darwin and how animals adapt to their environment. To demonstrate adaptation they made models of small and large beaks and investigated which was better adapted to large and small seeds as seen in the  13 varieties of Galapagos Island finches.

Bacon!

 

Cooking breakfast is fun but eating it is even better! Pancakes, potatoes and BACON! Yum!

Fossils

After discussing the process of fossilization the Serpents simulated their own fossils using plaster, sand, shells and other objects. After the plaster dried they got to work being paleontologists and extracted the fossils from the "rock" matrix. A fun and educational simulation.

Pets and Cooking!

 The Serpents have been bonding with the class pets, our guinea pig Ginger and two new fish in the aquarium, yet to be named.

And after picking all those apples they whipped up some awesome apple crisp and had it as a treat. It was super yummy!

Gardening

The Serpents took their first turn in the school garden harvesting apples, potatoes and pulling weeds. It was dirty and sweaty but a lot of fun and next up is cooking!
