Thank you for sharing your children with me! Warmly, Heather Dear Families, We had such a fantastic Halloween celebration yesterday! Our party was with the entire first grade in Love Auditorium. Each classroom's parents were in charge of a station, and the kids filtered through four stations. The kids had SO MUCH FUN! A special thanks to Julie Harrell, Christina Hartley, Katie Vance and Anne Louise Yarbrough for planning an awesome station-- MUMMY WRAPPING! I know the kids will remember the celebration for years to come! Enjoy the photos. Halloween Candy Science Experiment Additionally, in the morning we celebrated the students filling up the Compliment Jar by conducting a super fun science experiment! The students worked in pairs and they followed the scientific method to ask a question, test their hypothesis and analyze their results. They chose four different kinds of Halloween candy and tested whether the candy would SINK or FLOAT with their wrappers ON; and then tested them again with their wrappers OFF. Ask your first grader what they discovered! The "Lab Booklet" came home on Tuesday. Please enjoy photos from the past few days, including Halloween:
