Sorry

Sorry there have not been any picture postings lately. I lost my camera's battery charger. It is somewhere in the classroom. I will eventually find it. ;)

Holiday Display

Our class made decorations for the school's display case. Our theme is "Tis' The Season To Be Freezin'." We made snowmen and penguins out of cylinders...which is a 3D shape. The display is across from the office if you would like to see it.

The Physics of Sound

Students are using a block and a tuning fork to make sound. They observed that the tuning fork vibrates while it is making sound.

Turkeys in Disguise

Here are the turkeys we disguised so they do not end up on the Thanksgiving dinner table.

Canned Food

Calling all parents! We need cans for the canned food drive. Any donations will be greatly appreciated.
