Mrs. Hill's Class

Today we had a very special guest teacher come and teach us! Mrs. Hill came with loads of goodies for our class. Gracious Mrs. Hill brought our class some delicious, melt in your mouth, cookies. Yummy! She also brought modeling clay in an array of bright colors. To inspire our class about our fish tank goal, she helped us make fish of our own out of modeling clay. We made all sorts of creative fish and critters, Mrs. Hill is going to bake them in order to make them hard and put magnets on them so they will stick to anything magenetic. Maybe we can decorate our refrigerators with them! 

Thank you, Mrs. Hill! Please come again :)

Volcano Explosion

Today we had a fun experiment in science class. We combined different substances and made a volcano erupt. We used vinegar, warm water, dish detergent, and baking soda. Chris W. and Miss Blanchard made a fantastic mountain for our volcano experiment. When we combined all the ingredients it created a chemical reaction and a white explosion of bubbles appeared - POOF! - Molly and Katherine

Our Class made this short video so we could share our exciting science video with you! We are learning how to use Windows Video Maker - this video only took about 10 min. to put together!
At the time the explosion looked a lot bigger and better!






The 4th-6th grade boys are starting to memorize the Saint Crispin's Day speech
