Christmas Program

Our class is looking great and ready to sing in the Christmas Program at 1:30 and 7:00!

Advent Service Project

The Kindergarten students brought more than 200 toothbrushes or toothpaste for the Detroit Rescue Mission service project!

Thank you so much for your generosity!

Liquid and Solid Science Lab

We used blue water and a marble and drew what they looked like inside different containers.  We then discussed how the liquid's took the shape of the container, but the marble always looked like a marble.

Explanation on why Mrs. Tucker made the water blue.

Samples of the worksheet the students completed while completed the lab.

The Grinch

The Grinch came to school to tell us about the fun skating party planned for that evening! 

Water Science Lab

We began by exploring how many drops of water we could fit on top of a penny using an eyedropper.  Some students were able to fit more than 20 drops.  

We then did an experiment called "paper chromatography".  

We drew a line on a small piece of paper coffee filter using a black wet erase marker.  We put just the tip of the filter into a shallow dish of water and watched the water move up the filter. 

As the water went up the filter, it separated the colors in the black marker.  The students were pretty amazed by this experiment.  They thought black was only black, not many other colors mixed together!

These are the marker and filter that we used.  We cut the filter into smaller pieces.  Some students want to try it again at home!

Fast Reading and Word Work games

Today the students read their first reading book, Sam the Cat, to a partner.

They then played a word work game with their partner.
