September Science

 
As we get ready to say goodbye to summer, I look forward to another "sciencesational" year with my super scientists.  

•  Both Pre-K classes will be having Science this year.  
• kindergarten scientists are using their "detective" skills to collect clues
• first grade scientists are going on a treasure hunt to gather recyclable objects for our treasure box collections.    
• Grade 2 scientists will be recording observations and learning how to collect data and draw conclusions.  
• Grade 3 chemists will be creating "top secret" formulas 
• Fourth grade ecologists begin a unit on animal studies.  

Grade 5 chemists will be concocting mysterious mixtures and solutions and working on spectacular lab experiments.

We say hello to Autumn on September 23rd with some "cool" fall activities.  Please feel free to contact me, if you have any questions or concerns.  I can't wait to work with you and your child during this upcoming school year.
