Lindbergh Connections  

We were so lucky to have the high school history students come and teach us a few things.  

                  We heard stories about the Louisiana Purchase.

We panned for gold during the California Gold Rush!

 

 

 

 

We learned how to survive on the Oregon Trail!

 

 

We also peeked into Lewis and Clark's artifact trunk!

 

 

Thank you LHS for making learning fun!

 

 

Circuit Boards

Fun Making Circuit Boards!

We had a lot of fun making states and capitals circuit board games! We connected the states to their capitals with aluminum foil. Then, we tested our boards using a circuit connected to a light bulb. If we matched the state with the correct capital, the light bulb lit up!

Electricity

Making Circuits

We created simple closed circuits, series and parallel circuits in science.

Geometry Fun

Geometry Pretzel Project

Don't eat all the pretzels! Save some for the lines, angles, and polygons you are making!

Missouri Heritage Days

     On Wednesday, Oct. 24, we took a trip to Babler State Park for Missouri Heritage Days. This event is hosted by the Rockwood School District, and they invited us again this year!  It is an expensive field trip, and our PTO helps us to go each year by funding half of the cost.  Many thanks to Rockwood and our great Long School PTO.  We had so much fun learning about our Missouri Heritage!

                       No need to spend a lot of money for toys!
