Digestion Vocab

There will be a "Digestion" vocab quiz on Wednesday, 12/7.  Students received a copy of the study guide in class today, and there is also an additional copy here on the blog under IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS.

  

Crystal Experiment

Today students received information and materials during Science for making "Borax Crystal Ornaments."  These completed crystals will be due on Thursday, December 8th.  

There is a link under "Important Documents" with an explanation of the directions that we went over in class.  Here is another helpful link to see this experiment firsthand--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlYL4_cgCTU.

Lastly, we discussed other materials that can crystallize, including salt, sugar, and ice.  Here is a fun activity students may enjoy trying at home as well--http://snowflakes.barkleyus.com/.  

We can't wait to see all of these creative crystals!  Completed crystals should be returned to school in a plastic baggie on or before 12/8.  Please remind your student to include his/her name on outside of the bag as well.  Thanks so much!!!  

Save the Date

Our 4th graders will lead chapel at 12:05 on Tuesday, December 6th.  Parents, we invite you to join us for this special time if your schedule allows.  There will be plenty of available seating in the back of the auditorium.  

We hope that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  The 4th Grade Teachers
