Vote for sea turtle!

First of all, thank you to the parents who helped in gathering supplies and assisting with experiments. We have learned so much in the last two weeks! We studied the water cycle and saw some examples of condensation, evaporation and precipitation. We plotted average Oregon temperatures and learned how the ocean affects the weather. Ask your student to sing the water cycle song (Water travels in a cycle, yes it does...). We are halfway through our two week study of states of matter. So far we have learned the properties of liquids and solids, practiced categorizing substances and worked with tricky substances like shaving cream, toothpaste, oobleck and sand. Next we will learn about gases. In math we have been practicing counting and noticing number patterns. We have taken inventories, decided if there is enough of certain items for the class, counted as high as we can on long strips of paper, played coin games and even did candy math! Our class suggested our school mascot should be the sea turtle so we worked hard making posters to try to convince other students to vote for sea turtle. The votes will be counted on November 10th and we can't wait to hear what our new mascot will be.

Yoga with Ms. Carole helps to calm us every Wednesday afternoon.

Collect 25 cents

This is a fun and educational game to play at home with pocket change. Take turns rolling a dice and take the amount of money you roll. At any time you can trade in your 5 pennies for a nickel and so on. The first one to 25 cents wins!

We go to the library every two weeks to refill our book boxes.

Hmm...is this a solid or a liquid?
