Material Girls

Anna and Sarah just completed a unit on Materials. They worked with, learned about, and created all kinds of things out of various materials.

Here are Anna and Sarah trying to weigh the VERY heavy plasticene (or clay) models they made. It took a LOT of wooden counters to get them off the ground.

Sarah has just completed a circuit and her little light bulb was shining - but not as much as she was when it finally worked!

Anna and Sarah put on a class performance where they shared a song and play about their unit.

Anna is dressed up as "Paper Man". She bravely stood tall in front of all the elementary students, teachers and parents, and spoke loudly and clearly:

Pens and pencils write on me.

I have tissues for my hair,

And I'll pack your groceries."

Well done, girls!
