Week of October 18 - 22, 2021
First Grade has been continuing to learn about the scientific method in Science class. We have been discussing the word "hypothesis" and what that means. The students have also continued to develop their observation skills during experiments.
This week we conducted the experiment "Walking Water". Each group was given a cup of red water, a cup of yellow water, and a cup which was empty. The students watched as the colored water "walked" up the paper towels into the empty cup. They discovered that when the two different colors of water mixed in the empty cup a new color was created! The class recorded their observations throughout the experiment and checked their hypotheses at the end.
First Grade enjoyed the experiment so much, we decided to see if "walking water" would create a rainbow, too! Check out below to see what we discovered.
It worked!
To help get our room looking even more festive, First Grade created monsters! They are all very scary creatures!!!
Reminders!
Pre-K and Kindergarten students are organizing a drive to support our troops stationed abroad. We are looking to collect the following items: individually wrapped snacks: beef jerky, protein bars, trail mix, candy bars; Chef Boyardee or cup of soups, and travel size toiletries (toothpaste, shampoo, sun lotion, etc.). Donations can be sent in through the Mission Party on the 29th.
November is All Religions month, when we celebrate the central themes of love and goodness that all religions share. We plan to have a panel of people from different faiths briefly share what is special about their religion to them and a favorite celebration or practice that they enjoy about their religion. If you or someone you know would like to be part of this in any way, please contact Julie Myers at jmyers@holychildacademy.com .
