Science

These past couple of weeks have been about exploring water.  The K/1's had fun experimenting how different materials such as rocks, soil, and sand effect water's movement.  The children had fun using pipettes to move a drop of water across a tray, make a line of water, and more.....This morning the children tested their predictions on how water moves into and through plastic foam, construction paper, and paper towels.  

After science class, during language arts, we took a hike in the woods pretending we were water and imagining how water moves through all things in nature.  Next, in language arts, the children will be writing a poem entitled "I am Water."  More about it in the near future.....

Grandparents and Special Friends Day 2012

Thank you everyone for a wonderful afternoon and thank you for all you do for this amazing school.

                                  Happy Thanksgiving!

Also on this post enjoy photos of the children's notes to our "office people" to thank them for their work.  The children were very excited to write and deliver the notes. The children also wrote notes to soldiers as they participated to a project by the fourth and fifth grade students.  What an amazing group of children!  They truly understand what it means to show appreciation and wish people well.
