Fun Activities to End the Year

Today we honored Mrs. Curtis as she is retiring this year. We lined the path and greeted her as she arrived to school after the parents club and Bucky escorted her to school.
Tuesday we had our primary field day. Unfortunately it rained, so we took the events inside.
Here is JS on the hoppy horse.
Here is AB with a friend playing the coconut relay.
This is JD trying to keep his ping pong ball on the spoon as he travels around.
Thursday this week we received our Promethian Interactive board. We spent a little time getting use to it today. We used the paint tools and played around with some pictures of McKay's teachers. This is BL giving me some sunglasses.
We also did a new science experiment.
Here CS is trying to get the egg into the jar without actually touching it.
Wah lah...he does it. He was able to hit the pie plate, just right to knock it off, which moved out of the way before the egg dropped right where he wanted it...in the glass of water.

Exploring Science

This week we are having fun with a variety of science projects.
Here the kids are observing flowers that are soaking up dye. Here SB is learning how to get the toy to the top of the test tube.
We put a marble in a test tube and then filled it 3/4 of the way with salt.Then we shook it until the marble moved to the top.
