I honestly can't believe how quickly the school year has passed by.
Here are some of the things we've been busy doing:
For our Mother's Day gifts, we made these beautiful plates.
I was so impressed with how creative they turned out! Good work everyone!
(Note to moms - Did you like yours?)
We have been doing lots of fun science experiments! In this experiment, we got to dissect baby diapers.
We also made circuits and played with bar magnets.
In this little activity, we used Ivory soap to demonstrate how popcorn pops. (We found out that popcorn popping is a physical change.)
This "rock" is actually not a rock! It is an actual piece of the Berlin Wall!! Blake's dad lived there when the wall came down. How cool! It was fun to see and touch a piece of real history!
This is Weston holding a piece of cotton. To understand a little bit of what life as a slave was like, we all got to clean a piece of real cotton. (We found out that it is really hard work and even makes your fingers sore!)
Today was "Tool Day" for the 5th graders. Tool Day is a career type day where parents come and show us the tools they use in their jobs/hobbies. It was fabulous! Thanks to all our wonderful presenters for coming and sharing your tools with us!
David was glad his dad was able to come talk to us about the tools related to the carpet cleaning business.
These lucky kids got free shirts from the dad who helps educate students about the harmful effects that drugs have on our bodies.
Guess what - Only 9 more days of school!!
(I apologize for the blurry pictures. That's what happens when you use your phone for a camera.)
