Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh and first class





Paper helicopters




We made small and large paper helicopters using cardboard and a paper clip.We found out that the shape of the helicopter rotor blades make it spin when dropped from a height.Adding more paper clips changes the spin!The small one reaches the ground first!

Spring is in the air!




Our Spring display

Which is heavier?




Maple syrup, water or oil-Which is heavier?We found out that maple syrup sinks to the bottom and oil floats above the water.

My first trip to space!


First class had lots of fun exploring space and pretending we were astronauts.We wrote stories about our own trip to space.
