What a jam-packed first week back to school! We started off the week by watching Kid President challenge us to make someone else's year AWESOME, and then set our own goal or resolution. We have these displayed in the hallway, make sure to take a look if you are in the building.
This week we finished up/and tested on our States of Matter unit. On Thursday and Friday we did some fun, extra experiments involving temperatures effect on gases as well as how can we keep ice from melting. Some interesting and fun findings came from each of these experiments.
We also started (and finished) our math unit on patterns. The kids did such a great job with this material, I assessed them on Friday, and we will begin a new unit on number/place value on Monday.
As we are now 1/2 way through the year... some of the school supplies that the kids use everyday have either run out, or on their way.... if you can make sure your child has the following, that would be great: crayons, markers, glue stick and scissors....I am not sure what has happened to some kid's scissors... I had a bucket of my own scissors (to share w/ anyone that needed a pair... and that bucket has VERY FEW scissors left). A pencil box or some sort of organization item to keep all these things in one place would also be very handy and useful!
