Eye Dissection

We have been learning about eyes this month in our Growing Healthy unit. We have discussed the parts of the eye, where the parts are, and what they do. Today Nurse Twyla and some of her nursing students dissected cow eyeballs for us! We were able to touch all of the parts! It was a neat experience and really helped us to "see" the parts of the eye!

Responsible Students!

         

Congratulations to Lewis S., Nyanuer, and Armando for showing Awesome Character! These students made it to the top of the behavior chart! This month is Responsibility month at Storm Lake Elementary. We have been discussing what responsibility is and what it looks like. These students are great examples of responsible students. Great Job!

Goldfish, Ants, Habitats, OH MY!

During the past month we have been learning about animals and their habitats. We were able to have animals such as goldfish and ants in our classroom to study. We learned a lot by observing and recording data about our animals. We also worked on working together in groups. It was fun to see the "scientist" in our room making their own discoveries! We didn't have the best luck with keeping our animals alive in our room! We observed that our classroom was not their natural habitat! We will now be starting our next science unit Growing Healthy.

Luis' Birthday!
