If you are chaperoning on the field trip I will hand you a parking pass as you pull into the lot that will allow you to park anywhere in that lot. Don't park on the street unless you have a city parking pass. Drop off is 9:45 in the Snow Lot. The turn in is on 2nd South, right next to the football stadium. Drive all the way up to the top and I will take your child from there. Pick up in the same spot at 12:00. PLEASE DONT' FORGET TO PACK YOU CHILD A LUNCH! Yay for planets!

EARTH SCIENCE
"This Pretty Planet" by Tom Chapin is our song for our new unit on the earth. We have learned about the 4 layers of the earth (crust, mantle, outer core, inner core) and about volcanoes. The children participated in a science project today - molten hot magma! We created a small scale volcanic eruption in class today by combining vinegar and baking soda. We colored the vinegar red with food coloring for a more realistic effect. We also crafted a volcanic cone with paper lava coming out. So fun! And thanks to Bill Nye the Science Guy we watched some footage of real volcanoes exploding.
Next to come: where do we fit in the solar system? Space and planets!!
Teaching children to love science at an early age provides them with a desire in the later school years to tackle those tough classes that come along. Instill a love of learning early and the world is theirs to claim.
