Thank you to all of the parents that attended Parent Teacher Conferences last week.  The rest of the families will be attending conferences this Wednesday or Thursday evenings.

There will be a Science Test in Mrs. Grizzell’s class this Thursday, November 20th.  A study guide is coming home today.  Below are the items that will be on the test:

-Light is a form of energy

-When light passes through water it is bent

-Shadows are formed by blocking the path of light

-Most light energy on Earth comes from the sun

-Sun, stars, lightning and fire are examples of natural light sources

– Light travels in a straight line

-Materials that don’t allow light to pass through them are opaque

-We see objects when light reflects off them
