"Light as a feather"

 MAPS!

It didn't take the students long to fill out this sheet of paper with a map their town. They included a H for hospital, W for Walmart, buses, roads, parking lots, houses, trees, water, etc. 

This is a parking lot:)

House with  a house number. 

Living and Non Living

Many students were heard saying, "the bus is not living it doesn't grow" or "the trees are living because it grows". We had a great conversation about what living things need to be considered a living thing. 

The students have been learning what it means to sort (sort toys, colors, paper, etc). We have also been exploring with a scale. The students are getting the concept that an heavier object will push the scale 'down to the ground'.  

Light as a feather! The feather was bigger than the stick but it was equal on our scale.
