Great Day for a Community Walk

What an amazing fall day for a community walk! Thanks to all the volunteers. We saw lots of different modes of transportation. We noticed so many ways that people stay safe in a community! We learned two new terms, urban and rural. ELL tip, if you use these terms in your home language it helps your child build strong connections in the classroom.

We also got to come back to the classroom and design a Jack-O-Lantern. It will be on display at the Halloween dance on Friday. If you don't know which one is ours, check out the back side of the Jack-O-Lantern. Our parent volunteer, Mrs. M., showed off some hidden talents by carving a face and a number 3 on the back. (I can't find the picture of it's face so I guess you will have to see it at the dance.)

We decided we wanted to explore this further. One student was so helpful in bringing in 3 containers of slime for us to explore! Thank you to this student! Ms. McCullough decided to add in Oobleck to the experiment as well. We described both the solid and liquid characteristics of slime and oobleck then wrote a conclusion on whether it should be classified as a solid, liquid or both and explain why. Through some research online, Ms. McCullough found out this information online: What Is Oobleck? Oobleck isn’t a liquid or a solid, it’s a "non-Newtonian fluid". At times, it may seem like a solid or a liquid but it acts differently than a normal solid or liquid. Making oobleck is a great science experiment to show how changes in  pressure  can change the...

Students are coming home with a labelling of caterpillars and butterfly body parts.  Students should be able to explain how the body parts help in their lives. They are also bringing hone some sheets we did while experimenting  In our “Exploring Liquids” student.
