Highlights
On Tuesday we had our Scientists in School presentation about liquids.  Thank you to our parent volunteers!  Students were introduced to concepts such as reading a thermometer and identifying if something is a solid, liquid, or gas.  We also experimented by mixing different substances to see if they make a solution or a mixture.  We made many discoveries when experimenting with bubbles and trying to make plasticine float.         

In Math, we are learning to recognize numbers that add to 10.  We call these “ten friends”. 

Important Information

Spelling
Ms. Bain’s group and Ms. Fleming’s group are reviewing words with short letter sounds.  Students in these groups will not have a quiz this week.  If you are in Ms. Bain’s group, students are to practice making, reading and spelling words on the sheet sent home.

Ms. Klingbeil’s group was sent home a list of spelling words.  Students in this group will have a quiz tomorrow. 

Ask me about:
What two numbers are 10 friends?  (1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5)


You have two containers:  One container only has ice and the other container has ice and salt.  Which one would melt faster?  When we used a thermometer to measure the temperature, which one was colder?
