Tuesday, December 20th

Happy Tuesday!

We've had a great week!  Don't forget that you can still send in donations for Adam Smith!  The Shear the Beard campaign is doing amazing things for Adam and his family, so thank you so much for your donations.

Tomorrow is our Revolutionary War assessment. 

We've spent the early part of our week designing weather maps and writing forecasts based on our designs.  Students are using their understanding of weather fronts and pressure systems to design predicable forecasts for the United States.

Today, we added borax to boiling water to inquire into processes of change.  Our hope is that by adding liquid to a solid and dissolving it, we will see it turn to a solid again when the water cools.  We are letting them sit over night and will eagerly see our results tomorrow!!!

We are excited to see you Thursday at 1:45 for our Celebration of Learning! 

Have a nice evening!

Friday, December 8th - SNOW DAY!!

We had such a wonderful time yesterday!  The kids worked hard and did so great.  They were, however, keeping a close eye on the windows, and when the first flakes began to fall.....
We couldn't wait to take our weather lesson outside to experience some frozen precipitation....




My Freddy couldn't wait for a snowball fight.
And my Luke was not too sure about his first snow. :)
The snow sure did make our house look beautiful though.
I hope you have a great time in the snow today!!  I would love to see pictures of the kids, so feel free to email them to me.  Have a great weekend!
