Christmas Science Experiment

Submitted by arlene.haymond on

Mrs. Maguet's class did a Christmas science experiment. They put candy canes in four cups with warm water, cold water, vinegar, and oil. They watched to see which cup dissolved a candy cane the fastest. Warm water dissolved the fastest, then vinegar, then water, and oil didn’t dissolve at all!

Christmas Kindness

By Verlynn Cook

Two girls, Lea and Jennika, came to me and said that the lunchroom staff are not appreciated enough and we work really hard.  They wanted to do a fund raiser for us to buy us tall stools so we can sit while we serve.  I explained that we can't do that and then they said they wanted to buy us all good shoes.  Long story short...I encouraged them to write heart felt letters to the lunch ladies thanking them for working so hard.

Sra. Nelly, who was visiting from Mexico, shared the story "El niño que tocó las estrellas" with Sra. Bartholomew’s 4th grade class. It is the true story of José Hernández Moreno, the son of Mexican immigrants that worked in fields and how he became an astronaut for NASA.

Taxation Without Representation

Submitted by arlene.haymond on

My class learned about how unfair taxation without representation was for the colonists. Although the colonists all started out with 10 pieces of candy, by the time King Sam kept taxing them for ridiculous things, (Oh, you have a pet? That will cost you. You have blue eyes? Pay up!), his tax collectors had just about emptied most of their pockets. Poor colonists. But the King made out great!
