Scientist of the Week!

Keegan is our Scientist of the Week!


He showed us how eggs behave differently in different types of water! One glass had tap water and the other had salt water. Guess what? The egg sank in the tap water and floated in the salt water!


When the salt water and tap water we combined, the egg only dipped to the middle of the glass, neither
sinking nor floating!
Great job Keegan!

Mystery Reader

Innovative Mystery Reader

Today we had Sydney's grandfather read some great stories to us. The favorite was called Goodnight IPAD, similar to the old favorite, Goodnight Moon. It was amazing to hear that students knew of so many forms of technology that went to sleep in the story.



HAPPY PURPLE FRIDAY!

V week!

This week is "V" week! We traced the letter V and drew Violets on them


Kiera took home the Sound Bucket for "V" week.
She brought in Vinegar

We passed the vinegar around to see how it smelled...
...it made our noses scrunch up!


Kiera also brought in a picture of the planet Venus. Great job!
