Heritage Hill Field Trip

Despite the rainy weather on Wednesday, we learned a lot about what life was like on a Belgian farm in 1905. We learned about immigration, homes, making butter, farm life, summer kitchens, gardens, farm animals, and much more! The kids were great listeners despite being cold. This field trip ties to our social studies unit on past and present. Check out the some of the photos from our field trip!

Charlie Check First

Our school Liaison Officer came in on Thursday to talk to us about making sure we are safe at home and at school. Charlie Check First is a tool Officer Angel used to help us remember to ask an adult before going anywhere with anyone. The students also learned the importance of using "wise eyes" to observe their surroundings and saying "No" when there isn't an adult around to check with first. They were fantastic listeners and received a certificate, sticker badge, and Green Bay Packer cards.


Number Track

We learned about a new math tool that we can use to solve various problems. The students were introduced to number tracks. We had a discussion about what they noticed about the number tracks. After our discussion, we learned how to use these number tracks by solving some problems. The students were even able to write their equations right on their desks! They were so excited!

Chromebooks

The past two days we had the Chromebook cart in our classroom! 
We practiced some very important skills. We learned how to do the following: 
  • Plugging in a mouse
  • Plugging in our headphones
  • Signing into the Chromebook using their own student email addresses
  • Opening up the internet and logging into Raz Kids
  • And signing out of the Chromebook
The kids were very good listeners and many were able to easily sign in on the second day! I am so proud of them and their ability to pick up on the many skills that were taught!
