For our final science unit we have been focusing on states of matter, specifically looking at solids and liquids.  Last week after investigating properties of solids and liquids we discussed their differences.   We then spent some time experimenting with water drops on different surfaces.  Water is very fun on waxed paper!  Becca, who spends her days in our classroom, shared a wonderful art project idea that we completed this week using old crayons.  Your child can tell you about this.  Finally, for the unit assessment today we conducted a matter experiment using popsicles, documenting the changes at four different intervals.  There was an extra popsicle for everyone to eat later in the day.

We have started cleaning up the classroom and there is definitely a sense that the year is coming to a close.  Today we revisited some books we read at the beginning of the year, a little blast from the past,  and it was our last Mrs. Beattie's restaurant lunch.  It has been a fantastic year and having it come to a close is very bittersweet.  Thank you for all of your support throughout the year.  It has been an absolute pleasure and joy to spend my days with your children!
