Reading Buddies

We LOVE reading with our 1st grade buddies from Mrs. Pennington's class!
We read together every Friday morning. The kids (and the teachers!) look forward to our time together. We like to share our favorite books, write back and forth in our Buddy Journals, and author class books together. We are learning a lot from each other!

Simple Machines - Ramps!

The students worked in groups to create a ramp that would cause a marble to roll the furthest possible distance. They used objects around the room to create ramps and then they measured the distance the marble rolled as they made the ramp more steep. We had a ball!
