Kid’s Club Volcanoes

As part of the Non Fiction unit students made some experiments.  One of those experiments was a volcano.  We first learned about volcanoes and what natural forces create them.  We made a beautiful volcano craft and finally we made our real life like volcanoes out of clay.  We put poured bicarbonate and vinegar inside and wham they exploded. Soon you can check out the video to see the kids reactions.

Reading and Writing about Non-Fiction

July 3, 2013 at 6:36 pm | Posted in Non Fiction Unit | 1 Comment

Kid’s Club students learned about Non-fiction.  They explored the differences between fiction story books and non-fiction books.  Students learned that non-fiction books sometimes use labels to point out information about a picture or diagram. Kids learned how to respond to non fiction books and to tap into their background knowledge to make a connections to their new learning. They also wrote some news articles about non fiction subjects they were studying.  See the posts on their experiments with liquids and a volcano.

Over the last two trimesters we have been working on improving our writing skills.  The students used their improved writing skills to express their love to their mothers.
