(9/5) In science, after discussing matter and chemical changes, Ms. Clingan's students made a lava lamp. They discussed how oil and water are both liquids, but water is heavier than oil. Then, they dropped in an Alka seltzer which mixed with the water and caused a chemical reaction-it made a gas called carbon dioxide. They added food coloring for fun.

(8/30) Our school counselor, Ms. Kinnard, visited classrooms this week. She talked to students about anxiety, how to recognize it, and how to cope.

(8/25) Mrs. Heatherly's fourth graders studied physical and chemical changes in Science this week. Students wrote secret messages or clues about themselves with water and baking soda. Then, lemon juice was rubbed across the messages (the citric acid causes a chemical change). After the message was revealed, the class tried to guess who wrote the message.

(8/25) 3rd grade UFO students presented their knowledge of giraffes through skits, informative posters, and brochures. They also had a little fun in centers this week! Students were challenged to design and build a giraffe habitat from legos making sure to include food, water, a predator, and a giraffe! Students were asked to accurately represent a giraffe's natural habitat. Students also were asked to sculpt a giraffe out of aluminum foil! Their giraffe had to stand and could not be more than six inches in height. Other activities included a giraffe art piece using oil pastels, a cinquain written with giraffes as the subject, and a class mural that will be displayed around the school! That's STEAM!! (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics!!)
