Dear awesome families,
This week:
* In gym we played Cat and Mouse, Diamond Tag, Disco Tag and we practiced our dance.
* In STEM we made these really cool buttons that you could pin onto your clothes. Ms. Bell had this machine to make the buttons. The buttons were for Pink Shirt Day. We are going to make bigger ones in our next STEM class.
* Two days ago we started making bookmarks.
* For Valentine's Day we made bags that had robots on them like Roz. On Valentine's day people put candy, games and cards in the bag.
* Today we finished The Wild Robot. We will read the next book called The Wild Robot Escapes. There was a sad part at the end and Mrs. Marta almost started crying.
* We got two postcards this week. One was from Germany and one was from France.
* In Science we did an experiment to see if candy hearts would dissolve in different liquids. First we checked water, club soda and vinegar. Then we put baking soda in. In the afternoon we tried boiling water and then came up with a bunch of ideas to try other liquids. We tried, Mrs. Marta's cold tea, diet coke, and milk. We also combined some of the liquids. Then we tried to dissolve smarties and chocolate.
* This week we started learning to play chess. This week we just used the pawns. We played with a partner. The goal of the pawn game is that whoever gets the most pawns to the other side wins. When you capture with a pawn, you go one space diagonally. If a pawn is in front of you, you can't move it. Also on Thursday's we get to do chess club at lunch recess.
* We learned the letter m in handwriting this week. We also reviewed the letters we already learned.
We hope you have a great long weekend!
From,
Mrs. Marta's intelligent, caring, delightful, fantastic, awesome, super smart, beautiful, graceful and hard-working students
