Science Fair II - We Won It All

The winning Groups - The Kitties - above - (they chose their own names) from Dalton Class and the Rabbits from Powell Class.


The results of the first grade science fair came out yesterday and my classes - both of them - took first place! Hooray! This is a big deal for the students and for me. It just validates my teaching and validates that great teacher program at University of Hawaii, Hilo. Thank you Annelise!
The winners in the morning or Powell class (see previous blog) was the group that made compasses to find out if the Earth has a magnetic field, and in the afternoon Dalton class the group that used a magnetic powered boat to see if the magnetic force can do work. I'm so proud of them for giving an excellent presentation in front of all the parents and judges.

Future Clothes

I did a lesson on future clothes in our Windows to the World class. We watched a little Jetsons video and a strange piece on You Tube about fashion. The kids used recycled materials to make their clothes. They really got to be first graders and had a good time. I really love teaching these kids.
