Science at Home

In Science, we have been learning about the 3 states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.  We learned about the characteristics of each.  We also did some experiments where we mixed those together....we mixed liquids with solids, and liquids with liquids.  This weekend, you are all going to Scientists at home!  You can pick your choice of solid and liquid to mix into your cup of water.  Remember to record your results and bring your experiment results back Monday!

Happy Halloween!

Our 3D Halloween pumpkins

Happy Halloween everyone!  I hope that you had a great day at school with all your costumes!  We did a lot, from doing some Halloween math, to visiting the haunted house, to our class party!  Thanks for everyone who brought in treats to share with the class.  If you did not bring in a treat this time, please bring something in for our next class party!  If you go Trick-or-Treating with your family tonight, please remember the safety tips that we reviewed today at school!  Always stay with an adult and never eat something without having an adult to check it over.  Have a wonderful night!
