October 12 Blog

If you are reading this blog, our "Blogging 101" was successful, and we really peaked your interest! Read on to learn about two exciting activities that took place this week in Room 13!

Tuesday-Our Compliment Party

Since Day 1 of school, our students worked together to earn compliments from teachers and staff members around our school. Whether it was walking quietly in the hallway or working nicely in teams in the Science Lab, we are proud of the 15 compliments received. To celebrate, students brought in games from home. Everyone took turns playing games and filled each other's buckets with smiles, laughing, sharing, and good sportsmanship. Enjoy these snapshots...they tell it all!


Thursday-Scientist of the Week

Katie kicked off our Scientist of the Week program by conducting an experiment called, "Sandwich Bag Bomb!" The children greatly enjoyed her experiement and learned how vinegar and baking soda make carbon dioxide.  When the carbon dioxide could not escape the bag, it caused an explosion! Wow! Katie really blew the class away! See the video below! Katie is "da bomb!" LOL


Sandwich Bag Bomb!

We hope you enjoyed this edition of our Blog! We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Have a great weekend!

  4. That was such an awesome experiment and I was particularly impressed with the way the audience watched so carefully and patiently while Katie performed her experiment! You can count that as a compliment towards your next Compliment Party!! Great Work!!
