Happy Fall!

We had a blast celebrating the first day of fall today! We put on our imaginary white lab coats and got to work first thing on a science experiment. Using oil, water, and vinegar we predicted which liquid would dissolve a candy corn the fastest. The winner was...drum roll... WATER! We also built 2D and 3D shapes using toothpicks, candy corn, and candy corn marshmallows. They kids made some awesome things!Finally, we taste tested red, green, and yellow apples to see which one our class liked the best. As you can tell from our graph, our class liked yellow and green apples the best!

Testing Snacks

Thank you to everyone who was able to send in snack donations this week. The kids seemed to look forward to their special snack each day!

Room Mom

Our official room mom is Elizabeth Boland. She will be helping me get things organized throughout the year for our awesome little class. :) Her email address is: elboland@gmail.com If you are interested in helping out, please let her know!

Weather Project

We have been learning about all different kinds of weather this quarter. We have even been tracking the weather and keeping a weather journal! We got to become meteorologists in the tech lab and use a green screen to report the weather too! Check it out!

We have had an awesome week! We earned our 100th Pride Tally and will be celebrating on Friday! Way to go Ms. Britton's class. :)

We also have continued to work on weather this week, while also introducing the water cycle. We even made our very own miniature water cycles in the classroom. We will watch to see the water evaporate!

One of our class animals will start coming home with students this weekend. Don't worry, its a stuffed animal! His name is Chipper and he comes with a journal for students to fill out about their weekend with him. We will keep this as a class book in our library! Have fun with him!

Enjoy your three day weekend! I will see the students back on Tuesday, September 6th.
