Cause & Effect

We have had such a great time learning about cause and effect! We now know that the cause is what happens first (but does not always come first in the sentence) and the effect is what happens because of the cause. Here are some great cause and effect websites that you can practice with: Cause and Effect questions, game, matching game, matching game 2, passage, passages 2, and quiz! There are 7 fun online games to choose from! Leave a comment and let us know what your favorite is!

Tree Hill! :)

Enthusiasm and energy were exploding after our latest field trip to Tree Hill last Friday. Check out the pictures below. We had such an amazing time learning about animal and plant adaptations. This was such a wonderful experience for all the students to witness the types of things they are currently learning about in Science.Having 'hands-on' learning experiences are priceless in a child's education.

Do you want to visit yourself? Here is their website and traveling information so you can visit yourself. :) Tree Hill
