Exploring Liquids

The class explored liquids and discovered that liquids have their own special properties. They also now understand that liquids are different from solids in several ways.

Here is the exploration of solids....liquids coming soon!

Brain Break!

It is really important to give our brains a break every now and then. One way we do this is to dance to "Just Dance" videos. Notice what good dancers the children are!! One of our favorites is the Mario dance.
