Since we will have friends out the very last week of school, we took some pictures week of our whole class together!
First, a flashback to the first day of kindergarten!
And…almost the last day of kindergarten!
WooHoo! They have worked so hard!
Now, we are ready for FIRST GRADE!!
This has been an incredible week at Galatas! Science Camp week is always so much fun, very interesting and teaches us all!
On Monday, students from College Park High School came to Galatas for a presentation with their robot! They are a part of a group called Texas Torque. Their robot was programmed to move around, pick up basket balls and even shoot baskets!
Even I got to drive the robot!
On Tuesday, a group from McCullough came to show us the robots they used to win at their competitions!
They called themselves the “Sassy Scientists!”
On Wednesday, we went to the science lab for awesome experiments and demonstrations!
We also had Police Officers from the Houston Police Department visit. They brought in robots used to find bombs and suspicious packages and take care of them safely.
On Thursday, we made our own edible robots with marshmallows and pretzels.
On Friday, Tommy Betts, a professional movie stuntman came to show us how machines and special tools are used in movies!
I was asked to volunteer to be lifted in the air!
Aaaahhh! I was so nervous!
We had a great week and learned so much about robotics these few days!
Field Day 2012 was a blast!
We started the morning with a Play Day at Cattail Park.
So. Much. Fun.
We broke out all the essential outside play toys and watched the kids use their imaginations. They did everything five and six year olds should…
They played hopscotch,
soccer,
and baseball.
They ran until they had no more energy,
showed off their gymnastic ability,
found bugs,
and enjoyed time just being kids!
We picnicked at the park also!
At 1:00, all of of Field Day Fun started…just in time for the heat of the day!
There were a lot of events…
Football Hockey
Egg Race,
Water Balloon Toss,
Potato Sack Race,
Wet’n’Wild,
A chance to cool off and enjoy sno-cones
and Limbo!
Nathan and Charlie were our class’ limbo champs!
Field Day always symbolizes the end of the year. The hard work is behind us now. It is time to enjoy the rest of the year with the friends we have made!
