As we move into our weather unit we will take on the wind and rain by creating water bottle shelters. Each student needs to bring in an item that he/she would like to put inside the shelter. The item should be no bigger than 1 or 2 inches tall or wide. It should be small enough to fit in a cut open water bottle. It should not be something valuable, because it may get wet. An example could be a small Batman or Strawberry Shortcake figure from McDonald's. My daughter has what seems like millions of these lying around the house in every nook and cranny that mysteriously turn up missing every once in a while when we're cleaning! We will need these this week, so please send them as soon as possible. Let me know if you have questions.

STAR SCIENTIST
Justin was our Star Scientist this month. He brought in a gas powered replica airplane. The plane was 28% of the size of the actual plane it was engineered after. That's close to 1/4 of the actual size. Justin's grandfather came in to help. He is an architect and shared a cool website with us. Click on this link to play LEGO BUILDING GAMES and build your lego own structure online!
Justin also made a volcano in our classroom. If you want to this at home all you need is....
- a bottle (you can build your volcano around this
- 1/2 cup of baking soda poured into the bottle
- 1 squirt of dish soap
- 5 drops of food coloring
- add vinegar and take cover!!
Below are pictures of both along with a video interview starring Justin. Enjoy!

STAR SCIENTIST
YUCK!
For Olivia's Star Scientist experiment on Friday we used borax, glue and water to turn these liquids to a slimy solid. Enjoy the photos below. Also, thank you so much to all the parents who coordinated, participated, and donated for our party. We had a great time!
