As we head into a new month, let us try to keep that oxygen flowing to our brains in the hope that whatever chemical reactions might occur, they lead to great learning and attitude! Today we learned what makes a penny shine...definitely high acid liquids like ketchup, vinegar and lemon juice...surprisingly, not tomato paste! I have no idea why! And the brasso...wow! It took off more than just oxydized copper I think!
I sent home some sample brochures for the upcoming animal reports. They will be done at home. They don't need to be done professionally on the computer...it was just easier and quicker for me to make an example using the templates on Word. They can rather be done professionally with a pen or pencil and colored pencils. You'll probably at least want the picture of the animal printed off the computer and I will let you do that here, but only that. It is due in my box on Thursday, Feb 16th. Here's a great place for getting information: http://www.hoglezoo.org/meet_our_animals/animal_finder/animals-that-are-mammals
We had a fun week but remember there is a very important science test on Monday. Take some time to study! Next week we begin learning about ratios and soon, decimals and percents. We'll be finished soon with The Secret Garden. We begin a new unit in history on Russia. Wow! My brain is ready to explode! Have a wonderful weekend!
Love, Mrs Cardinal
