Hands On Nature and Electricity with Benjamin!

Hands On Nature today was about water and the water cycle.  Our parent volunteers taught us about the water cycle, properties of water, surface tension,  how water travels through plants and water's cohesiveness.  We watched a puppet show, did some experiments with water- some of which showed capillary action in plants, and then rotated through a variety of stations that reinforced our learning about water.  A big thank you to all our parent volunteers for this fantastic morning learning about water.

Benjamin shared his science table about electricity today.  He taught us more about protons and electrons and also taught us about electrical circuits.  We also learned about insulators and conductors and we tested some different objects to see if they were insulators or conductors.  Benjamin's science table made a nice connection to Sam's science table last week.  Way to go Benjamin!

I will be sending home a conference reminder with your scheduled time in the Friday Folders this week.  Please let me know as soon as possible if this time will not work for you so we can reschedule.  I'm very excited to share your child's progress with you at next week's conferences.  Everyone is working very hard in school!
