On Monday, Mrs. Silvia from the Haffenreffer Museum at Brown University returned to JFK for our final visit. She talked about the Hopi tribe of the Southwest. We learned about the homes and different ceremonies of the Hopi, and even participated in a Butterfly Dance.

In Science this week we started learning about magnetism and electricity. Here we are testing some items to see if they are magnetic.
We spent some time rehearsing and getting ready for the Coffeehouse next week. We hope to see you all there!
