We Made it Rain!

This week we did a super fun and easy experiment in class this week. We made it rain! All you need is a clear cup,water,shaving cream,and food coloring. First he students filled up the cup with water. Then I added their "cloud". Next each student took turns dropping 1 drop of coloring in at a time until  the water droplets got so heavy they had to drop out. That is how you make it rain!

Next week we will focus on the water cycle and types of precipitation.

Book Buddies

Today we meet our book buddies for the first time. The students shared their favorite books with their partners. We will get together with our new buddies throughout the year. 

In the Science Lab we made wind vanes. First graders are responsible for learning about weather tools. This is just the first of many tools we will lean about this 9 weeks.

Calling all Grandparents! We have one more time slot available for reading. 8:15 is still open if we have any takers....

Foundation

A big thank you goes out to those parents in our classroom that have joined Foundation. Our class is in second place in the entire school.  If we are the class that has the most participation, we will win a special Science Lab experience with Mrs. Knobbe. I know the kids would enjoy that! Plus we will get 10% or 15% of the money our class donates to use for classroom materials! If the school reaches their goal of collecting $25,000 we will get a 200 dollar grant! So please,if you haven't already consider joining the Addison Foundation this year.
