Way to go Karah!

I love to see Goodman and Gibbon Apes making awesome choices and thinking of others!  Karah cut off her beautiful hair over break to donate it to a great cause (and she still has beautiful hair).  Just the thought that a girl somewhere will not have to stress or worry about how she looks because of Karah's kindness warms my heart.  She allowed someone to keep their chin up and fight whatever battle she may be fighting and feel comfortable doing it!  I am so proud of Karah for thinking of others, Karah you are a beautiful person inside and out!

Great Things Happening with The Apes!

Congrats to Jaydyn and Derrick for being our Star Students of the week!  Keep working hard and making us proud!

What is a galaxy?

We spent the day researching our galaxy "The Milky Way" and creating a presentation to explain what we know about galaxies!  We had a lot of fun and actually learned some pretty interesting facts!

What is static electricity? How strong is static electrictiy?

Winter Break and December Luncheon!

We had such a great week to end our calendar year!  Mrs. Peck and Mr. Peck came to visit and help us have fun building gingerbread houses and we all had our pizza lunch!  The fun continued with our annual pickle swap!  I am so excited to keep our fun going in the New Year, can't wait to see you all back to school tomorrow!  We are almost half way done with our year, I can't believe it!  Congrats to Karah and Colin for earning the title of Star Student as well!

Thanksgiving Luncheon!

I had so many pictures from last Tuesday so I created a tab above!  Check out all of us having a great time celebrating our hard work!  Can't wait until December luncheon!  Make sure you have 14 books and look for progress reports to come out on December 11th!

STAR Students!

Congrats to our Star Students for this week!  Hannah and Maria have worked so hard as always.  We are so proud of the effort they have both made to improve academics, stay out of drama and make great choices!  Way to go girls!

Can you change the elastic potential energy in a rubber band?

We had fun today answering this question!  Each group had the chance to change how far they pulled the rubber band and then let it fly.  We were able to determine how changing the amount of elastic potential energy will affect the distance it can fly.

Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets Needed!

Let's show our San Pablo spirit and support our fellow classmates, schoolmates and/or neighbors.  We are in need of non perishable foods to help create Thanksgiving baskets for San Pablo families in need.  All food items are due in class by Friday! 

Thanks to Nick Miller who has already sent in a bag of food!  For each can or food item, you will receive a Gibbo/Goody dollar in your account at school. 

Thanks for supporting other San Pablo families!

Fraction Fun!

We have been having so much fun with our fractions in class.  We have learned how to use the clock to add fractions and how to use a number line to find equivalent fractions and then add them.  Today we looked at using an area model to add and subtract fractions.  Here are a couple of photos from our area model!
