Totem Pole

For our class cardboard challenge, we decided to make a totem pole.  We learned that some communities use totem poles to tell their story.  This totem pole tells our story!

Cardboard challenge

After reading Not A Box, we decided to create our own not a box project.  As a class we are working on creating a Totem Pole that will tell our class story. (check back to see how it turned out)  Then each student decided to turn a box into something else.  Love how these engineers work!

Acorns

 This week we had a visitor from the Virginia Department of Forestry.  Ms. Palmer ask showed us the many different kinds of acorns and asked for our help in collecting some white oak acorns.  We were happy to help out and found some trees right on the school grounds! We have enjoyed collecting the acorns. We were even able to observe the acorn weevil grub as it came out of some of some of the acorns we collected.
