Hello Families,

Last Thursday we started our Project Based Learning Unit on Earth Science.  The kindergarten scientists investigated four different earth materials:  clay, soil, sand and gravel by using hand rakes, shovels, colanders, magnifying glasses, and tweezers.  Was it messy?  Yes!  Was it noisy?  Yes!  Were the students engaged?  Yes!  Did they learn lots about earth materials?  Double yes!

Thanks to Charlie’s mom for taking these pictures and for helping us.  Thanks to Aseel’s mom, Ian’s mom and my friend Mrs. Anderson for helping during the investigation as well as cleaning up afterwards!!!!  You all rock!

Thanks to everyone who brought in materials to make our learning a success.  We are going to hold on to these materials for future investigations but will return soon.

Ms. Wright
