Dance for Dough!

Thanks for your support Lakewood families and the surrounding community. We are having a blast!

Molecules and Matter

Today we talked about molecules. We had a delicious assignment. Ask me about it this weekend!

Solids Liquids and Gases

In Science, we have been learning about solids, liquids and gases.  

Students have been practicing sorting solids and liquids:

We can explain the differences and similarities:

We know what happens when heat is added in this situation:

We learned that a gas can be difficult to see and its molecules are spread out far, filling up a space equally, no matter the size or shape of the container.  Just like with these balloons:

Watch our raisins dance in this experiment:

Carbonated beverages are filled up with a dissolved gas called carbon dioxide.  The gas is sealed into the drink and when you open up the bottle or can, the gas starts to come out of the spaces between the molecules of liquid.  When it does this, it forms little bubbles.  The bubbles collect onto the raisins, until the raisins are light enough to float.  When it reaches the top, the bubble pops, making the raisin sink back down again.  They look like they are dancing!

Happy New Year and Welcome Back!

Hello Room 15 Families,

Happy New Year and welcome back! We hope the holiday season was relaxing and enjoyable with your loved ones. Please help your child dress warm over the next couple of weeks. It is very chilly!!

We would like to extend a warm welcome to Alexandra! We are excited to have Alexandra in our classroom and we are looking forward to getting to know her.  

We hope that you had a chance to do some fundraising over the holidays for our school, with the brown package that was sent home before the break. Our "Dance 4 Dough" school dance is on January 30th. This fundraiser is in place of our "Run 4 Funds", and is our only non-parent council school fundraiser for this year. We rely heavily on those funds to help decrease the cost of our school field trips and for needed recess equipment. All money needs to be handed in by January 15th.

 

Thank you very much for your support.
