February is almost finished.  That means, 3 more months of school and then Summer Camp!

Room 5 did an experiment with yeast for the TMA Science Fair.  One loaf was made with yeast and one without--the children were able to see firsthand how important it is to follow a recipe and what an important job yeast has.

Other busyness this month has included working on our windfall project, sharing valentines with each other and learning about Penguins & Dinosaurs. 

The children in our class have seemed to really enjoy listening to stories this year.  In the afternoon we are reading aloud chapter books.  We recently finished The Magic School Bus--Dinosaur Detectives.  We're currently working on Brown Ears.   The children are planning to read as many chapter books as we can before the end of school.

Room 3 Science Experiement

Room 3 participated in the annual TMA Science Fair this year.  The room 3 explored hydroponics.  We cut 3" off a bunch of celery and the same from a head of romaine lettuce.  We placed them in a shallow container of water and observed them for over 2 weeks--time to see if they would grow.  Result:  the celery did not, but the lettuce did.  We even got to eat part of our science project for snack!
