Awards day!

Today was our awards day!  Lots of awards were handed out!  I must say, I am very proud of each and everyone of my scholars.  They all have done a great job this year and I have truly enjoyed having each and everyone of them!

Lunch with a teacher!

Some third graders and one 5th grader had lunch with a teacher today!  Here we are with our silly mustache faces!

Thank you to Mike Davis Insurance for providing us with lunch from Sonic, it was yummy!

Engineering

We have begun our engineering unit on Bioengineering with a focus on membranes. Today we began our experiment with raisins. We set up 4 different cups to experiment with in 4 different ways. Then we went to the science lab and measured their mass using a scale and gram weights. We ended our morning with looking at a raisin and sand under a microscope and being able to see it up close on our iPads.
