Sink or Float

This past Friday, our class participated in a science experiment as part of the school wide science fair. We chose our experiment to be on Sink or Float! We made prediction cards, and learned all about why certain objects would sink and others float.
We conducted our experiment using a piece of aluminum foil, pennies and a sponge. We made our predictions and observed what each object would do. It was lots of fun to see who's guess was right!!
Our science fair experiment will be on display for all of you to see in our classroom on Tuesday night at Open House. Open House will be from 5:30-7pm. We'd love to see all of you there!!!
We still have one more week left in Australia and the deep blue sea and then it's Spring Break. When we get back from spring break we're diving into spring and science! We'll be learning and observing the stages of a butterfly and growing our very own plants. We're even going to become scientists ourselves and keep a science log of what we observe each day!

Don't forget Wednesday, March 25 is our trip to Outback Steakhouse and Friday, March 27 is our Field Day! We have lots of fun and exciting things planned but we all still need to remember our school rules and be on our best behavior!

Dr. Seuss' Birthday Celebration

It wouldn't be a proper Dr. Seuss' Birthday Celebration without tasting our very own Green Eggs and Ham!!
After we read the story, we all got to try green eggs and ham. Most of us liked it... but there were some of us who didn't like it at all!!!
We read a lot of Dr. Seuss books and later created our very own animal character and wrote about it in our journals.
We also created Dr. Seuss, Cat in the Hat, hats using words from the "at" family. This is a word family we learned all about last week!
We had a lot of fun today learning about Dr. Seuss but the rest of the week we're back to learning about Famous Americans. This is our last week in our Famous Americans unit. This Friday we will be flying to Australia, where we will spend three weeks learning all about the culture and the deep sea!!

We're also learning about money and are learning a new money song to help us remember! Be sure to ask us about it!! :)
