Cold Science

What a treat we had last Friday!  Rylin's grandparents and mom came by to talk to us about some very "cool" things.  We looked at the properties of dry ice and liquid nitrogen.  We even made some yummy ice cream with the liquid nitrogen!  Check out our pictures.

Dr. Warren poored the liquid nitrogen on the table and it looked like it poured all over the floor!

Dry ice in a balloon.  When we shook it, the balloon inflated.



100th Day Fun

The 100th Day of School has come and gone.  Thank you to all of the parents for sending in some yummy treats and dressing us up! 

We counted and counted and counted some more today.  Continue practicing counting at home!  We are learning to count by 10's, but will soon be counting by 5's and even 2's!  Be sure to help your child arrange items in rows to help with counting. 

We expect that students can count up to 10 items in a scattered arrangement.  However, that task gets tricky for higher numbers.  That is why it is important to teach students to make a neat arrangement to assist in the counting process.

Now that we only have 80 days of school left, the job of the parents is getting bigger.  Continue to read and write nightly.  Check your child's work folders for important notes, homework, and completed work.  This completed work can give you a window in on your child's progress.
