Third grade had a lot of fun putting their measurement skills to good use during their mini Olympics. How much mass does a handful of marbles have? 

Science in math......

3rd graders mixed a solid and a liquid to create a gas. They were surprised to find out that not only did they make a gas, it made the container cold!

CSI session 1 is off and running. We had a great activity about surface tension. Try it at home and see what happens. Fill a bowl half way with water. Cover it with pepper. Dip the corner of a piece of bar soap in the middle of the bowl and watch what happens. The kids were very excited and surprised by what happened.

Spent time over the break getting supplies for my science club.  Can't wait to get started with the kids next week.  I hope they enjoy science as much as I do.  Can you make raisins dance?  Well, the kids are going to see if they can.

Kindergarten is starting thier voyage into addition.  This is a great video to introduce it.

Today was a great morning in 1st grade.  Students had so much fun counting pumpkin seeds.  Watching the kids as they realized that a pumpkin floats was awesome.
