Shanghai Circus

We are going to the Shanghai Circus on November 19! In order to secure our tickets we have to purchase them next week! Permission slips have gone home and some have already been returned. If you have not sent your child's permission slip and money in please do so ASAP! Just send it in your child's regular classroom folder addressed to me and I will get it. If you would like to chaperone please send in $9.50 for your ticket. Thank you! I realize that most of you have just paid for another field trip, I promise this is it until January. I do not want anyone to miss out on this fabulous event. Please let me know if you are unable to pay and I will take care of it.

Matter!

Today we talked about matter. We reviewed the three states of matter-solid, liquid, and gas and we conducted an experiment to find out what happens when air is heated or cooled. Ask me about what I did! Check out this cool way to review the three states of matter!

Mad Science!

All grade levels love "Mad Science!" My goal this year is to do a lot more science labs because the kids love it so much and it sparks their interest to learn new things. While I don't mind supplying materials for our labs it usually involves me raiding my pantry and too much of that leaves my cupboards pretty bare! I am going to list everyday things that we will be using in future science labs and if you can send ONE of them in I would greatly appreciate it! To avoid me having 10 containers of salt and 0 food coloring would you please put what you are sending under "comments?" That way everone can see what has been sent. THANKS A MILLION!!!!
