Klunder's Krew Takes On Front Row! (12/1)

Last week, we took on a new website on our chromebooks! Front Row is a website that allows each student to practice math and reading skills tailored specifically to his/her strengths and weaknesses. In order to access this site, you student needs to enter his/her first and last name and then enter in the class code: klundt. This site is bookmarked on your student's chromebook and can be used to practice math and reading skills at home!
Let me know if you have any questions about this awesome resource!

Klunder's Krew of Turkeys!

Klunder's Krew of students transformed into Klunder's Krew of Turkeys on Tuesday! Each student wrote a thank you note to a different staff member at BES and in order to properly deliver the thank notes we just had to complete the package by dressing up for the part! Our second graders created their unique turkey costumes and dressed up to deliver their "Turkeygrams" on Tuesday! Enjoy the pics and let me know if you would like me to email you the pic of your child! :)

​Happy Thanksgiving!

The Mayflower Tin Foil Boat Challenge Data! (11/21)

We took our boats to the "sea" and tested their pilgrim capacity, we found boats held everywhere from 45 to 215 pilgrims! We talked about the different shapes and features that allowed certain boats to hold varying numbers of pilgrims. Pictured below is our winning Mayflower that held 215 pilgrims!

Mayflower Tin Foil Boat STEM Challenge! (11/20)

Students were given 4 pieces of aluminum foil, 1 straw and a piece of paper to construct the strongest Mayflower boat that could safely transport the most pilgrims (represented by marbles)! The pictures below show some of the different groups in their building stages of the challenge! Students brainstormed, designed their creations on paper, and then got the opportunity to build their structures! Our classroom was bursting with creativity! It was SO exciting to see these engineers at work!
