Happy Holidays!


Happy Holidays! Today we had a great school wide assembly! It was fun to hear the middle and high school singers, have a sing along, listen to some 4th grade students play instruments, and watch the AR PowerPoint! We especially loved the presentation of 12 Days of December (see picture) by some Big Woods Staff! Later we enjoyed some popcorn and our holiday movie!
Wishing everyone a WONDERFUL break!!

SCAMPER

Today we had a blast at our family reading event! We did an activity called SCAMPER to help Santa modify his sleigh. The kids had many creative ideas for Santa to make his sleigh better! Thanks to all the parents who joined us for the morning!

Measuring Machines!

We have been having SO much fun in math! This unit we were measuring machines! We learned how to use a ruler and tape measure. We talked about standard and non-standard units of measurement. We also had fun playing some math fact games! Here are some pictures of us while we were practicing using a tape measure and use non-standard measurement to measure people!
