First Time with our Buddy Class!

We were so excited to meet our buddy class! Students in our class are paired with a Kindergarten student in Mrs. Mariott's room. We loved meeting our special student.

Students worked on a project for 

International Dot Day!

     Each student made a dot and we posted them together in a similar fashion of the book The Dot by Peter Reynolds. "Make your Mark on the World".

Thelen's Thinkers are in the Columbian Missourian!

Creating a Closed System

Students worked together to make a closed system. Using rocks, soil, plants, water, and air, we created a model of Earth's systems!

Questions that ensued:

• Are we taking the cap off to water the plants later?
• Won't the plants die if we leave the cap on?
• Will it start to "rain" inside the container?
