We had tons of fun in our matter unit whipping up a lot of crazy mixtures and solutions.  We were able to create "mattter bags" full of doughs, puttys, slimes, paints, bubbles and soaps to share with the children staying at our local Ronald McDonald House.

Field Day!

This year's theme: Countries of the World.  Although we came in second in the class Amazing Race challenge, we had a blast!  Thanks, Ms. Belville and Mr. Shirmer!

Science Day Owl Pellets!

314 was transformed into a dissection lab for this years Science day.  Students were able to uncover the latest meal of some feathered friends.  We became expects at bone identification and were able to draw some conclusions about the food chains in our local ecosystems!

San Diego

I got the privilege to travel to San Diego  California to observe some project based learning in action.  We visited High Tech High and all the school campuses at Chula Vista as well as had some sessions from professionals there sharing their craft.  There were lots of wonderful take-aways for the classroom and a little fun checking out the town as well.  Can't wait to get back and put some of my learning into action!
Here are some of the cool student projects I got to see.

Here are some shots at the San Diego Zoo!
