Thankful.

I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am to have these kiddos in my life! I know it's that time of year, but I am grateful for them day in and day out. They make me a better person in this world and challenge me to give my all. This week is all in pictures! 

We did an Inventor's Lab where we took various materials and made tin can phones! We tried out ribbon, yarn, tissue paper, and pipe cleaner to see if we could make a phone that really carried the sound waves from our voices. The purpose of this lab was to help us experience a piece of what inventor's go through and then what they need to take their invention to the next level and turn it into a business and industry. 

"I can hear you now!"

Some of the materials were much harder to work with than others!

We also worked to discover ways this process would be easier such as using machines, different materials, more time and money, etc.

Mrs. Underwood even joined in the fun!

We worked super hard on our equations vocab this week, as well as to balance them!

Other exciting things this week:

Look at these sweet kiddos doing a civic duty and picking up the trash that got scattered all over the soccer field!

Ways we can be kind!

I went to Ripley's Aquarium and the jellies are my second favorite thing! You can actually pet some now!

This guy cracked me up! 

My first favorite...penguins!

They had an AMAZING Pearl Harbor exhibit with interactive touch screen maps, complete WWII timelines, excellent simulations, and my favorite POTUS: Franklin D. Roosevelt.
