The most exciting part of our week came on Friday, when students were able to do more than just talk about liquids turning into solids (by removing heat). We mixed milk, sugar, and vanilla in a sandwich bag, added it to a gallon bag of cubed ice and rock salt, and shook, shook, shook!
Voila! Ice cream!
Coming Up Next Week:
*Students will be doing county-wide pretests in Math, English, History, and Science. This will disrupt our schedule for our regular groups for Math and Reading. Our new reading groups, including Title I and Reading Lab, will begin on September 26th.
*Our new unit is on "Weather" for Science. Ask your child if they know what a "meteorologist" is!
*Fall Field Trip Alert! We will be going to the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia, sometime in November, date to be announced. The field trip is being partially funded by a grant. Last year's cost (with the grant) was $10, so we expect it to be around the same price!
