So I am not very good at blogging yet. This is obvious since I am not keeping up to date. We have been busy in class too. Here are some pictures of us before our PTA program, which was in October. The theme was "Possibilities" as in all of the possibilities we have for our future. It was a great program. Mrs. Nickerson is awesome at directing these. In the above picture, we are ready to get the show going.



The students dressed as the profession they wanted to be (if they know what that is) and most of our girls want to be actresses. Although, we have one veterinarian, a writer, and a shirt designer! Most of our boys want to be professional ball players. Go figure!


Dancing and singing about all of the possibilities. We can do anything!

In November, we went to the Opera. The students were excited, not only to be getting out of school for a while, but it was fun to get dressed up (for most of us).

Don't we look nice? Once there, we felt like we were in a fairy tale castle, getting to walk up the marble steps and the curving, glass stairway.

In class, we love to use technology. One of our favorite things to do is use iPads. In November we had QR codes that helped us learn about the presidential candidates and then again to find information on the French and Indian War.

Technology is fun!

Now we are up to date with our activities. Hopefully, I can do a better job of posting. Until next time!

The last of the States of Matter projects.








The students turned in their state so matter projects. I believe they have a firm grasp on how the particles look and move for the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas).

More states of matter projects.

Our projects are due this week so we have turned in a few more. We want to show the particles of a solid, liquid, and gas.

Great Science!

We had some great science going on in our class. We are working with mixtures and solutions, studying their physical properties, including solubility! Look what's going on...
And today, which is more soluble, salt or citric acid? Answer coming soon.

We are on our way!

We have gotten off to a great start. We have a great class, although its big and talkative. We are already working on some projects. We are all doing a simple state of matter project this six weeks. A few have been turned in early.

Ready to start the new year!

The new year is about to begin and I am looking forward to having a great year! I have some new and, I hope, exciting things planned for this upcoming year, including this new blog. Hopefully, I can get my students excited about the blog as well.
