Pictures!

Take a peek at our adventures from before March Break! :)

On Monday, we made "goop" in science. It is a mixture of cornstarch and water. The children got to see the changes that it went through. When they squeezed it in their hands it became a solid, but as soon as they let go, it would turn into a liquid! We had lots of fun learning about it!

Later in the week we started our paper maché project! We mixed flour and water together and it turned into a paste. We dipped strips of newspaper in the paste and smoothed the strips onto balloons. This took us 3 days, because we needed to do 3 layers, letting the paper maché dry each time. It was a messy project, but I was amazed at how well the students worked. The finished product is going to be beautiful! :)

All 26 balloons hung up to dry in our classroom!

We had a wonderful time on our field trip to the art gallery and CARI pool. I took some pictures of the little artists at the art gallery, but was not allowed to take pictures inside the pool.

Finally, on our last day of school before March Break, we had a St. Patrick's Day celebration and did some special salt art with our book buddies!

I hope that everyone had a fabulous March Break! I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow! We will be keeping the paint shirts at school, but if you need yours returned, please let me know. I took them home and washed them and they're all ready to go for our next project!

There will be some changes to homework starting this week, so stay tuned for more info on the blog tomorrow.
