The Secret of Saying Thanks

Our May Book of the Month is The Secret of Saying Thanks by Douglas Wood. Here is the "secret" if you don't already know..."The heart that gives thanks is a happy one, for we cannot feel thankful and unhappy at the same time. The more we say thanks, the more we find to be thankful for. And the more we find to be thankful for, the happier we become.We don't give thanks because we are happy. We are happy because we give thanks."




Enjoy our "thankful" projects...

I am thankful for grace

Super Scientific Circus Class Poll

On Friday, all of Mrs. Zawis and Mrs. Skipper's students headed off to see the "Super Scientific Circus" at the Wilson Center. What an amazing show it was, and certainly proved itself to be super scientific! Two very funny performers, Mr. Fish and Trent the Mime, took several scientific concepts, and explained and demonstrated them through circus and magic tricks. We saw the principles such as centripetal force, gravity, ultraviolet light, sonic booms, air pressure, and many more demonstrated through the use of boomerangs, bull whips, balloons, bubbles, and lots more. Each concept was explained to the audience, and furthermore, we learned how to do many of the science "tricks" and "magic" ourselves. We learned a great deal and really enjoyed the show. In the word of Mr. Fish, "Science is fun!"

We did a class poll and here's what the 1st and 2nd graders liked best about the show:
2nd:
Lainey: Bubbles and Trent
Jack: Trent the mime
Bobbi: Needle through the balloon
Emma N: Sonic Booms and Trent
Seth: Plate spinning
Trevor: Boomerangs
Markis: Boomerangs
Alexandra: Roboman and Ultravoilet dancer
Abby: Light
Amy: Bubbles
Ariana: Needle through balloon
Chloe: Trent the mime
Aiden: Balancing
Sean: Balloon Trick
William: Trent the Mime and Roboman
Jackson: Boomerangs
Emma R: Needle in balloon
Macy: Roboman and Trent the Mime
Abigale: Broom balancing
Carson: Trent fake balancing
Ryan: Roboman, Trent's fake balancing, and Needle through balloon

Stay tuned for the 1st grade results...
