Loving that Smart Board!

The Barracudas are using their Smart Board for math, interactive web sites in science, language arts and social studies as well as watching videos. Thanks to all you kind folks that contributed to the fund raiser at last years auction!

Our favorite 4 year olds!

Getting ready for Curriculum Night the Barracudas cleaned their desks in the time honored elementary manner--shaving cream! And instantly turned into 4 year olds.

Fossils

After talking about how fossils form the Barracudas made their own by putting shells in a mixture of plaster and sand. Then the real fun began as they got to be paleontologists and excavate the "fossils" that had formed.

Go West Young Man!

The Barracudas are using all their research, math, writing, computer and map skills to plan a trip to the "Wild West" circa 1850. After reading the advice of a guide from that era they began to plan a route and supplies--including food, clothing, and animals--then put it all together in a presentation.

As always, Lilica and Ginger were a great help!

Pie!!

So many blackberries, what's a Barracuda to do? First we picked, then we made jam and now a beautiful blackberry pie. Can't wait to cut it!

Seattle Art Museum

After visiting the Seattle Art Museum and learning about artists that recorded the exploration of the west, the Barracudas tried their hand at painting their own landscapes.

We're Back!!

The newly named Barracudas are back and ready to learn. Watch out world!
