Science Day

We had a blast this past Friday at Science Day. Dr. Hunt from Mississippi College came and set up around 60 science experiments. He trained the parents and the kids rotated through each center. What an awesome day of learning and discovery! There were rockets and races...every type of science gadget imaginable! I cannot believe how blessed I am to teach at a school like this where the kids have experiences that they will always remember like this one. I also feel blessed to have such great classes and such supportive parents. I had a wonderful birthday and I cannot express how appreciative I am for all the wonderful cards and gifts. You all made me feel so loved! We have been reading Holes by Louis Sachar this week, learning about predicate adjectives and making an "Alliteration Alphabet". Whew! That makes me tired just thinking about it! We also created abstract cactus masterpieces and continued to work on our reading fair projects. We have started planning the New Orleans field trip and everyone needs to send a $30.00 deposit before December 4th if you are planning on riding the bus. We will be visiting the zoo, IMAX theater and the aquarium. The students are bringing home their home journals this week and this time the prompt asks you to write about what you are most thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful students and their parents. I am also thankful for my fun co-workers who make coming to work fun each day! Happy Thanksgiving!
