Thanksgiving Break

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! Remember we are out the whole week. Kids return on December 1st! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Wiki Stick Spelling

Practicing spelling words is a big part of first grade, and sometimes that can get boring. So, this week we had a fun twist on traditional studying. We got to use Wiki Sticks to make the letters in each word. What fun!!

Halloween Science

We put candy corn in different liquids and watched what happened then recorded it in our science notebooks. It was fun and exciting to see what happened!!

Red Ribbon Week

Here are our dress up days for Red Ribbon Week...at least the ones I remembered to take a picture of!!

Expanding Ghost

Today we did the expanding ghost experiment. We guessed what we thought was in the bottle and what may happen when we stood the balloon up and then we did it and watched what happened.

It was so mch fun to hear what the kids thought made our ghost stand up. After they wrote about it I told them what actually happened. They all said they were going to try it at home so here are the directions.

Materials

Empty water bottle

1 tablespoon baking soda 

1/2 cup vinegar

Instructions

Pour the vinegar in the bottle. 

Put the baking soda in the balloon (with a funnel) and put the opening of the balloon on the bottle.

Finally stand the balloon up and dump the baking soda down into the vinegar.

Watch the fun!!!

I would love to hear how the experiment goes at your house! Have fun!!

Reminder

Do not forget to check the classroom news link for spelling words and any important information I have for you! We will take our Spelling and reading test on THURSDAY next week since we will be trick-or-treating and having our Halloween party on Friday.

We will dismiss at 1:00 on Friday for the 100th Rivalry game against Guntersville.

If you have not sent a bag of candy please do so by Thursday.
If you are sending a treat for the party you can send that anytime before Thursday.

Thanks for all you do!!
