Sibley Teachers Take the Polar Plunge!

Sibley teachers Mr. Wanzek, Miss Gonwa, Miss Gephart, and Miss Miller took the polar plunge to help raise for Sibley's annual food drive.  Sibley students donated over $200.00 for the local food shelf.  Way to go, Sibley students!  The four teachers chilly jump midway through the video, at about slide 12:50.  Brrr!!!

Mmmm, Mmmmm, Good!

The Jaguar reading group, Talan, Taylor, Faith, and Carson, read a book called, "The Wheat We Eat."  They learned that some cereals are made from wheat.  Bread is made from wheat.  Pasta is made from wheat.  We got some bread dough, watched it raise all day, and then baked it.  We made enough bread for the whole class.  The best part was eating it!  Home made bread!  Mmmm, Mmmm, good!!

Happy Birthday Colter

Ms. Bennett's dog, Colter, came to school for his birthday.  We had a fun party with cake and presents.  Colter showed the class how he can read some words.  He read the words "sit, down, and paw."  Colter loved his party.  So did the kids!

Happy birthday, Colter!

Colter's cake - he got a very little piece!

Colter reads some words.

Blowing out the candles!

The Taste Test!

Our class has been studying the five senses... seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching.  We learned that our brain uses those senses to find out about the world around us.  We did a taste test experiment to find out the different taste buds our tongue has.  Do you know what the four flavors are that our taste buds can taste?  Find out below during our "taste test"!

Our four samples of the different tastes:  sweet, bitter, sour, and salty.

Alex and Sophi try some salt for the salty flavor.  Did you know that salty is the only tastebud flavor that our body acutally needs to stay alive?

Cayden and Iyana try the lemons.  Oooo, that's sour!

Brenden tries the sour lemon too.

Jose puts the bitter baker's chocolate in...

... Ewww, that tastes yucky!

Last we tasted some sweet suckers.  Now those were good!

We finished the puzzle!

A New Kitten!

Guess who got a new kitten for Christmas?  Ms. Bennett!  Meet Kelchi (KELL-chee), an 11 week old ragdoll kitten.  Kelchi means "moccasins" in the Navajo language.  As you can see, she has little white moccasins on her feet!  Check out the videos (in the video bar further down on this page) of Kelchi and Colter playing together.
