Today's science lab was all about determining if an item was a solid or liquid.  We created oobleck and then tested it out to see which properties fit with what we expect from a solid and liquid.

We discovered that this particular item has a special name and category.  As your child about it!  To take a closer look at all of the fun pictures that went with today's lab, have your child login to their google classroom at home!

 Have you talked to your child about Pink Shirt Day and it's significance?  Standing up for others, doing the right thing, and helping someone to feel like they are seen and belong, is all part of being an upstander to help fight bullying.

** Once you have finished with your child's portfolio and had a chance to look through it, please send this important binder back in to school so we can keep adding to it during the second part of the year **
