November ISTATION test

Yesterday we went to the computer lab to take our November Istation test. This is a very important test.  Dr. Lawrence looks at our scores every month and we want him to know how smart we are!  Ms. Griffiths told us if we do our best, that we would get a surprise.  We did a WONDERFUL job (20% to 52% Tier 1) so we were rewarded with:  

We can't wait until December to see what surprise we get for doing our very best.........

We made butterfly hats.  They have wings, antennae, and the proboscis tube to drink nectar with.  We used a straw to show the proboscis since it is like a tube.....

Sea, Sand and Stars Field Trip

On Tuesday our class went on a field trip to Sea, Sand, and Stars in Orange Beach.  We learned  stars and sea animals. We saw fish, crabs, a sting .ray, and different kinds of starfish. Thank you Ms. Lisa for all  you taught us! 

 Payton, Jasmin  and  JMarion

Ms. Lisa taught us that fish need scales.  Scales protect them from getting sick.  We put scales on our fish with paint dots.

Ms. Lisa showed us starfish.  Did you know there are different kinds? 

 Here are the chocolate chip and brittle starfish.

Here is the brittle star up close.

We all got to put our hands in the water tank 

and touch the ocean life!

We even let Mrs. Laurendine and her class come along!

Lady Bugs

Yesterday we made lady bugs  We learned that they have four wings. Two wings are hard and two wings are soft. The hard ones protect the soft ones.  Lady  bugs eat bad bugs that eat plants.
