On Thursday, April 30, our classes participated in America Day! Each one of us took a topic related to America and taught it to each of the four classes. I taught all about Dr. Seuss. The students were introduce to him with a BrainPOP Jr video. Since I didn’t have a version of the story in hand I found a video that read the story Bartholomew and the Oobleck to the students. After the story was finished, the students and I made oobleck together out of cornflour and water. We then discussed whether it was a solid or liquid. It turns out oobleck is both.

The students participated in our lessons all before lunch. After lunch, we went outside tonhave the classes play baseball. The students had learned all about baseball earlier in the day from Kellie, so it was great for them to actually play the game.

Overall, America Day was a success! It was a lot of fun, and I’m so glad we were able to do it.
