FCAT Spirit Week/ Dr. Seuss' Birthday (Early March)

These pictures are in reverse order... sorry but I forgot to start with the most recent.
We enjoyed a hotdog dinner at the tailgate party.
We promised to do our best on the test!

Mr. H makes his entry at the tailgate party... on the traditional tricycle!


Everyone had fun at the tailgate party!


Yeah! Let's do our best!

Packed in for the party!



Wacky Wednesday with "Mr. Ward" as our teacher!

We made oobleck to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday.







Messy but such a cool experiment... is it a solid or liquid?






We had guest readers for Dr. Seuss' birthday... Mrs. T (Gillian's Mom... THANKS!)
Tod ay we dressed as famous people and celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday.

Slimy Fun! 2/26/10

Our monkey chain finally reached the floor so we earned our class reward! It has really been hard to learn to walk the hallways quietly! Since everyone loves to do science experiments so much, I decided to reward them with a slimy day! We learned all about animal slime and human slime (yes- we have slime!). We learned that frogs, worms, snails, slugs, etc. have lots of slime and would die without it. We also learned that saliva and snot are a form of slime! So all animals and all humans have some form of slime. We even discovered that some plants have slime.
We made slime that looked a lot like snot... so guess what they turned it in to! We had a lot of fake sneezes going on!















We also made "guts" that started out all stringy and slimey. After working with them for awhile we had a nice big glob of slime to play with.




















We also made "glow" worms and other colored worms. We made frog eggs as well. All in all.... it was a great reward through a learning experience!
