February 7, 2018


Our character word this week was courage.  Students shared ways they show courage in the classroom: asking for help when struggling, inviting a new friend to play, and seeking guidance in solving a problem.  They also shared ways parents show courage: when they call the cable company to negotiate =) and when they have to discipline children in public.  We have opportunities to show courage in the small decisions every day.

Questions for Kids

  • Friday was Counselor's Day!  What's so great about Mrs. Kleitsch? =) 
  • What words have you defined in your glossary for your informational text? 
  • Why is Harriet Tubman an important historical figure?  

Students poured 30 mL of different liquids into a cup and observed how density affects the layering. 


We learned that even when we pour liquids into a cup in different order, they rearrange themselves!  Higher density liquids move to the bottom, while less dense liquids move to the top. 


Students used the following formula to find the density of different liquids:  mass / volume = density. 


Emma & Violetta play an Albanian game on Cultural Day! 


Middle school students taught us a fun Domino game from Albania.  

We also played a Vietnamese game using beans.  






Bosnia's game was similar to golf . . . only we used a makeshift "green" and marbles.
