"Christmas Around the World" Projects

For our mid-term research project, we decided to learn more about other cultures. And... since Christmas was right around the corner, we thought it would be fun to research how other countries celebrate Christmas. Each student chose which country he/she would like to learn more about, researched the information online, took notes, and created a power point to show our class and either a first grade class or second grade class. Parents were also invited to come and see.:) Below are pictures that we put on our bulletin board to tell a little about them.

Then we saw the "Big Man" himself...SANTA!  We told him all about what we learned from our projects!:).  He said that he has been to ALL of those countries!
That's A LOT of sleigh miles!  :)

We ❤️ rocks!

In Science, we have been discussing the three main types of rocks, their properties, and how to identify them. In the pictures below, we are looking at various rocks and comparing them to our own rock to see if we can identify it.  We also used the streak test to help us.
