Forms of Matter (with our buddies)

On Friday, we had fun exploring the three different forms of matter with our grade ten buddies.  We learned some characteristics of solids, liquids and gases.  Blowing bubbles was definitely a highlight!

Scientific Inquiry

Today, for science, the children learned how to follow the scientific method when doing experiments.
 
Using the scientific method, we answered the question, "What happens when you push a pencil through a baggie filled with water?"
 
It was fun to see the surprised reactions as the kids did their experiments. Some children might come home a little wet!

Grade Ten Buddies

On Monday, we were fortunate to have our grade ten buddies come to visit us again.  This time, the grade tens helped to teach math games to the kids.  There were about 7 different games to choose from, so there were lots of different learning activities going on.  It was very fun to watch the interaction between the big kids and the little ones.  Such a special relationship!  The grade twos love spending time with their buddies.  We are looking forward to another game time with them in a couple of weeks!
