{Bridging Friendships}

The Twosies loved completing our Bridge Unit! We spent time this week learning about the history of bridges and 5 different types of bridges. We kept track of our learning in a booklet where we drew a sketch of the bridge and listed some facts. Each page also included a fun fact of the either the longest, oldest, or tallest bridge of its type. The Twosies couldn't wait for Friday where they would get to try out their engineering skills on a bridge of their own!

Truss Bridge

Arch Bridge

Suspension Bridges

Thank you to everyone who donated materials for this project and a special thanks to those that made it in to help us with the bridge building!

{Peanut Butter & Jelly}

The Twosies go together like Peanut Butter & Jelly!

This week we spent some time learning about one another and talking about how we all bring different strengths to the classroom. I'm so excited about the little family that is beginning to form and am eager to see how we begin to use our relationships to build one another up!

We learned how peanuts grow and also how to make peanut butter. On Friday, we wrote about how to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Then we actually made them with a friend and shared a special snack together!

 

 

 

 We also enjoyed reading this book:

{Field Day}

The Twosies had a wonderful, wacky, WET time at Field Day this year! We loved the inflatables and we loved soaking each other any chance we got! Thankfully, the weather was great and the kiddos were on their best behavior!! Be sure to check out the time lapse videos at the bottom!

Key got air!

Some of us got war wounds!!

{Plant Life Cycle Projects}

The Twosies created ThingLinks to share their plant research learning!



Each group chose a plant of their choice and learned about their life cycle. The projects had to include the life cycle stages, a time lapse video of the growth, and some interesting facts.

{Breaking News- Natural Disasters}

The Twosies worked so hard researching and producing news reports 

on Natural Disasters!

Each groups of students wrote a script that included the following information about their natural disaster:

Name

Place the disaster is likely to occur

Description of the disaster

How it forms

How it is measured

Effects of the disaster

Most devastating disaster of it's type in history

We used a Green Screen App called Veescope Live for this project. The students chose a weather map of their natural disaster location and a video clip of their natural disaster to insert as a background.

Enjoy their finished products:

{Twosies Visit the Farm}

Off we go to Washington Farms...

Of course we had to take a picture in the rocking chair!

Washington Farms "Rocks"

Our Field Trip began at the Petting Zoo.

We saw cows, goats, rabbits, chickens, parakeets, peacocks, two-week-old chicks, and a donkey.

 

 

 We jumped on the giant pillow...

Learned about the life cycle of a strawberry...

And picked ripe, red strawberries!

"These are the best strawberries I've ever tasted!"
