A "Hands On" Experiment

Before the cold and flu season started, we did a little experiment. I washed my hands and touched the 'Clean Hands' piece of bread and put it in the bag. The students passed around the 'Classroom Hands' slice and then placed it in the bag. The bags were then placed in the closet and we waited. And waited some more ...(because the bread had preservatives in it, this took a bit longer than we all thought). I think the results speak for themselves and really show the importance of proper hand washing with soap and warm water. 

*This picture is from when the bread first starting showing changes. Ask your student how it looked a few weeks after this image!

The Power of Yet

The Power of Yet... This is something we have talked about since the beginning of the year: Growth Mindset! Students will be creating goals for the spring this week and we will be updating our bulletin board shortly. Ask you child what the "Power of Yet" means to them.

Museum of Science Assembly

In February, students enjoyed a presentation from the Museum of Science. Ethan was selected to see if the metal rod was a good conductor- I think Ms. Estle's face tells that it is! This was a good introduction into our new science unit we have just started- Magnets!
