Hi Families,

We were excited to see that Bridget had grown since yesterday.  Here take a look!

Our alligator Bridget is now 3 inches long and definitely wider!  Today your child will be taking home their experiment and science display board.  If possible, start as soon as you can.  Have your child decide on the “mystery liquid” (the variable.)

Your child should also start the “Growing Alligator Planning Guide Sheet.”  Have your child come up with their Big Question.”  Your child may write the question on the planning sheet or you may write it down depending on your child’s level.  But make sure it is their question.  We did an example in class today.  Take a look!

The “I Think Statement” is your child’s hypothesis.  What do they think will happen and why?

Your child will also be taking home their science display board.  Complete directions are in the packet.  The boards are due Wednesday, May 6th.  Today in class, I showed them some examples of the completed boards from last year and we talked about each one.  If possible, take lots of pictures of the alligators during the experiment.  Here are a couple of examples from last year.

Thank you so much for the support you give your child’s learning!

Have a great weekend!
