STEAM School Career Day

  Our STEAM School Session 1 experience culminated with a special visit from a real life musician, Miss Angelene Shultz. Miss Shultz is the assistant orchestra director at Austin Academy here in Garland ISD. She is very special to our teacher, Miss Todd, because she plays the violin in the orchestra Miss Todd plays in.  Enjoy some pictures and videos from our special experiences with Miss Shultz today:

Heating and Cooling Never Tasted So Good

    This week in science we had a wonderful time exploring the world of heating and cooling. We even made a tasty treat during our studies. Who knew that science could taste so good!

We started our week by creating ice chalk. We mixed together the ingredients we needed and poured the mixture into ice cube trays. Then, we placed it in the freezer to cool. The next day we were able to play with our ice chalk. It was messy but so much fun!

Seasons Sort

 This week in science we learned about the four seasons and the types of weather that tend to go along with them. We talked about how the weather affects people and what they wear each day. Then, we enjoyed an exciting show and tell game where we brought clothes from home and sorted them by season. We had a wonderful time sharing about our clothes. Check out our fun pictures from our show and tell. Thank you!

Music Around the World--A Christmas Edition--Week 6--Germany

  Wow! What an exciting day we had today at our sixth morning of our Music Around the World class! Today we learned about another wonderful country--Germany! We focused on how Germany is the birthplace of the Christmas tree and learned one of their favorite German songs, "O Christmas Tree." After reviewing, "Mele Kalikimaka," and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" we were treated to a special guest, Miss Todd's Dad, Mr. Todd. He played his guitar for us and sang, "Sneaky Snake", a song that he and Miss Todd sang together when she was our age.  After enjoying Mr. Todd's presentation, we had the opportunity to create string things, washboards, and harmonicas. We used these instruments to accompany our song, "O Christmas Tree!" You can listen to our rousing rendition in the show we made below. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about our fun day!
