BEAR PROJECT- DUE WEDNESDAY

Hi, Everyone!  Your child's BEAR folder and project are due on Wednesday.  They should have finished their biography book and should be working on their project.  If they finish early, they are welcome to turn it in ahead of time.

Matter Unit

This week we began our matter unit in science.  We began to explore different solids, liquids and gases and defined what matter is.  The students were given several balloons filled with different substances.  Each child was asked to make a prediction about what they thought was inside the balloon (a solid, liquid or gas).  Then we opened them up and found out what was inside.  Two balloons had gases inside of them and the rest are pictured below:

FIELD MUSEUM TRIP

We had a great time at the Field Museum today.  We visited the Pawnee Lodge and learned how the Pawnee people adapted to their environment.  Thank you to the parent chaperones who came with us.  We had a great time!

BEAR Project

Your child should be working on their BEAR folder at home.  The genre this term is biography.  It is due December 18th.  A description of the project is in their folder.  Remind your child that they need to complete the top ten list about the person the chose and then write a letter to convince others of why they should be in the Hall of Fame.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome Back!

Hi!

I am so excited that we are back.  I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful week off!
