Weather ScienceOur latest experiment in our Earth and space science unit on observable weather changes lead us to investigate how rain water moves down mountains.
We learned about different land forms before we started the experiment. To be able to see how the rain moved down the paper mountains, we used washable blue ink and a misting spray bottle. The mist and ink flowed to show how the water moves. |
Celebrating Reading
We reached our goal of reading 10,000 minutes before winter break. We cleared the desks and chairs out of the way to read for 20 minutes before we enjoyed pizza and a movie. Our new goal is 12,000 minutes before the end of the school year.
Fire Safety Week |
We read about firefighters in our Reading Street books. We compared historic firefighters to modern ones, then we actually got to meet one! Fire fighter Jared came and taught us some fire safety, showed us his gear, and helped us with our historical comparison. He even let us try on his helmet!
