We are wrapping up our Canned Food Drive, but WE STILL NEED LOTS OF CANS!! Mrs. Vinson has extended the date to Monday, December 3. Our school goal is 1,000 cans. Our classroom goal is 200 cans. If we reach our school goal, we will receive a week of jeans and t-shirts! Students will also get to slime Mrs. Vinson! Bring in those cans!
In Science this week, we have been discussing Animal Adaptations. Today, we did a Penguin Egg Race where students had to keep the egg between their feet and not let it drop down. We also experimented with Blubber Gloves, where students had to put their hands in ice cold water and then put on the "blubber glove" and feel the difference. Pictures are below.
The Scholastic Book Fair is this next week. It will begin on Monday, December 3 and end early in the day on Friday, December 7. Students will be allowed to go to the Book Fair as long as they have money to buy something. We will be having a Book Buddy Christmas Party and BOOK EXCHANGE on Thursday, December 13! The Book Fair is a great place for your child to buy his/her book buddy's book. You do not need to get an expensive one. Just a fun paperback that your Book Buddy would enjoy! Remember, your book buddy is a 4 or 5 year old!
We have a field trip to Traveller's Rest on Friday, December 7. I will be sending an e-mail asking who wants to join us as a chaperone. Please respond to the e-mail no later than Tuesday night. This is the first of our many Tennessee field trips!
