Holiday Party

Party Time!

Today we had our holiday party in Pilot B. We made a fun door hanger craft and had a yummy snack. The highlight of the party was exchanging holiday cards. It was so delightful to hear the students ise their manners and thank each other as they opened the cards.

Scientist of the Week

Kooky Colors
 Tavi was our Scientist of the Week for K week. Her job was to see which colors moved faster when dipped into water. We saw that different colors travel at different speeds up the paper. We learned that this is called chromatography. Some colors are made up of multiple colors! 
Great job Tavi!

Mackenzie was Scientist of the Week  for H week. We practiced our hearing. Mackenzie placed various items in different containers. We tried to guess what was inside after giving each container a shake. Can you figure out what's inside?

A Special Visit from 6th Age

Today a friend from 6th Age came to talk to the Pilots about Hanukkah. He told us about the eight nights of celebration, the lighting of the Menorah, dreidel games and Jewish food like latkes and challa bread. Our Pilots asked some very good questions and were a great audience for our guest.

Afterwards, Pilot B got to play with dreidels. We learned the meaning of Gimmel, Shin, Hay and Nun.
