This week we began discussing several topics in science. We started learning about how scientists use specific guidelines to conduct experiments. We are practicing these guidelines, the Scientific Method, while observing an experiment with grass seed. Your child can tell you the steps we have taken, including what the only variable is in this experiment. We all made hypothesis and we will be collecting data in the next few weeks. Later in the week, we reviewed the water cycle and discussed water on Earth. We created our terrariums using soil, rocks for drainage, plant clippings(thank you for sending those in), and water. Inside our mini-ecosystems, we can already see the water cycle in action! We can't wait to see how our terrariums do over the next few weeks!

It was great to see so many of you at Open House last night! I hope that you were able to get a tour of our classroom. I know that the children were proud to show you all that they have done this year. If you haven't signed up for a conference in December, please contact me at your earliest convenience to schedule this.
