This week was awesome and exciting!
First, we had an in-school field trip with Scientists in School! There were five different stations where we did activities and learned more about rocks and minerals! Here are some quotes about our experience.
- "I learned that graphite is in the lead of pencils." -J
- "It was fun learning about the different types of rocks!" -N
- "I loved the station with Mr. K where we scratched rocks with nails and tested them with vinegar to see if they reacted." - T
- "It was so much fun!" -D
- "We learned there are different layers to the soil (surface, topsoil, subsoil, and parent material)" -D
- "The afternoon was fantastic!" -O
- "I liked it when we got to make our own metamorphic rock out of clay." -M
This week we also finished our Rights of the Child art project. Here is a picture of our new bulletin.
Next, we noticed there is a problem in our school with the organics bin. There are not enough organics bins for the whole school! We asked Mr. Robinson, Mr. Thelmo, the office and Ms. Paull for help! We want to buy more organics bins for the school so that people are not throwing their organic waste in the garbage. Our job is to find out how much the organics bins will cost our school. Then, Mr. Robsinson will help us purchase them.
A reminder that next Tuesday is Halloween. Students may dress up in costumes that are appropriate for school (no weapons, masks, or scary costumes).
Have a great weekend!
Love Room 13
