We tried a new activity before our test called Graffiti Wall. Students were given 2 minutes at a time and had to write down as many facts about our test topic as possible in silence.

Making Clean Water

Last week, we took some very, very dirty water and created clean water. 😉 Be sure to ask you child exactly what magic was performed.

Water Cycle

This term is starting off with a splash! (Do you see what I did there?! lol) We’re focusing on the water cycle…and with the help of Ms. Frizzle, and yours truly, we had a great first lesson. 🙂 Be sure to ask your child/children to define:

  • Evaporation
  • Condensation
  • RunOff
  • Groundwater
