Keva Blocks

I have used Keva blocks with past students and was excited to hear that Liberty just purchased some for the school!   

These blocks are great because there are a number of lessons and activities that you can do with them.  However, my favorite part of these blocks is the creativity that comes from.  That is just what I asked the kids to do on Friday.  Here is what they came up with.

And this was just their first time using them!  

You will be seeing these at STEMmerday so be sure to stop by the library.

Twirling Teacher

This week we explored investigation lesson and conducted a few experiments with gravity.  In one particular experiment, the students had to figure out a way to get their teacher to twirl.  Some were a bit disappointed that it wasn't me they were trying to twirl.  Ask your child what position the arms on the teacher had to be to get her to twirl.

Reader Theatre

We finished our Famous American unit by participating in reader's theatre.  We performed a play about Helen Keller, Martin Luther King Jr. and Susan B. Anthony.

Another wonderful performance by the students!
