Happy SUNNY Friday!

What a fun, busy day! This morning, we had a visitor from 4-H. Mr. Andrew was here to talk to us about soil and all the things that it is used for. He said if we didn't have soil, we wouldn't even be here! It must be pretty important! He had some examples for us to pass around and touch. He said that our next lesson will be at the end of April, and it will be about entomology. He promised that we would like it! Leave a comment on our blog if you find out what entomology is!

We talked about what we had learned through our lunch exchange with Western Australia, and made a list of similarities and differences that we found out. On Monday, we'll be putting this on the "what we have learned" page as well as making some voice recordings for them to listen to. Earlier in the week, we packaged up some Goldfish crackers and a book to send to our friends overseas. We hope they like it!

After math tiles and lunch, we had a "in school field trip" from the Explorium. The title of the lesson was "Water, Water EVERYWHERE" where we learned that the water that we have on Earth has been around forever! We got to make a cloud in a glass jar, which we loved.
We also got to spend some time outside in the beautiful sunshine!!!!
KING OF THE CLASSROOM for the week- Sam! Sam is a fun, outgoing, smart kid and our classroom certainly wouldn't be the same without him. He always participates in class discussions and is a good friend to others. Thanks for being a great kid, Sam!

  1. Clouds in bottles! That sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe you could write a procedure, when you have some time, to teach us how to do it too? The Smarties would love to try that!

    Love Mrs N
