Ending On a FUN Note

This week we explored some fun science experiments.
Here we are making trying an experiment with a water base colored liquid and milk. We tried to move the color through
the milk. This group got a neat star with their experiment.

Then we made raisins dance.

Here is KC attempting to make an egg drop into a glass without touching it (see video below).

We have had a GREAT year together and I want to thank you for
sharing your wonderful children with me. It has been a priveledge and a pleasure.

Rewards

As soon as we get our library books turned in we get a popscikle. Yummy!
If you still have books out, you have until Wednesday to cash in on this treat.
These girls have walked between 55 and 65 miles this year during recess in the mileage club. I think this record will stand for many years! Way to go, very impressive.

Field Day

Today we started the day with our anual Field Day.
Thank you to all the parent volunteers who make this day possible.
We all love it!

There were 21 different events to go to.
Here DL is the anchor on the tug of war.
After lunch a PHS student came and guided us through a writing assignment.
Students traced their hands and then took turns rotating their papers to have other students
write nice sentences about each student. We will put these in our photo albums.
Mrs. Miltenberger came in and gave us our S.T.A.R charms and certificates too for all the reading we did this month.
Then we finished the day with our last play of the year.
We had a fun filled day!

We were so lucky to meet Pauline who grew up in Kenya.
She showed us pictures of some people from Africa and let us ask questions about life
in Africa. It was a wonderful opportunity.
Today was our last day with our reading buddies so we had a small party.
We had a 3 legged race and then enjoyed ice-cream.

Yeserday we performed our first play of Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock.
It was so much fun. I can't wait to see the next two plays this week. Thank you
parents for coming in and letting us perform for you.
TC did a great job as our reader.
CSH was a great elephant.
NW was a hippo.
AD made a great lion.
