Experimenting with Wood Shavings, Sawdust, and Water





What happens when you add wood shavings and sawdust to water? We found out today during science! We observed what happened and recorded our observations.

We heard a hilarious story read by Mrs. Kraal today in the library. It was called Arnie the Donut. Ask your child about it!

Library Books, Yoga, and Science all in one day!





Today we returned to the library and checked out new books. I was so proud of all of the students for bringing back their books on time! How responsible!

Liz, Willa's Mom, introduced us to yoga during PAT (Physical Activity Time). We learned a few basic poses and are excited to learn more next week. We are still trying to get some towels donated to our class so that we can do yoga outside. Please let me know if you can help out with this.

In science today, we went to the science lab! The students used rubber bands and paper clips to sink their pieces of wood. They added one paper clip at a time and then tested their piece of wood in the water. When we found how many paper clips it took, we returned to our classroom to record our findings. Some students used pine and other used plywood. Which do you think needed more paper clips to make it sink?

Another Lost Tooth!



We added our second lost tooth to the Tooth Tally today! It was very exciting! We continued working with patterns and we went to the library for Story Time with Mrs. Kraal. We also got to see our buddies today. Each set of buddies created a venn diagram show how they are alike and how they are different. Thank you so much to the parents who stayed after school today to help prepare for tie dye day and a big thank you in advance to everyone who's helping out tomorrow. Thanks so much!
