Here are a few of the questions that we recently explored: Who uses the metric system of measurement? What's a pan balance? How heavy is a gram? How heavy is a kilogram? What's the difference between mass and weight? Here are some pictures from our first day of school. Notice that the students got right to work on their first assignment. They even jumped right into reading within the first hour! Later, they participated in a getting-to-know-you activity.
Ok, Lancers, let's show our Homecoming spirit next week by participating in the following spirit days:
Monday -- Red, White, & Blue Day Tuesday -- Crazy Color Socks Day Wednesday -- Groovy Tie-Dye Day Thursday -- Solid Color Head-to-Toe Day (Example: Wear a green hat, a green shirt, green pants, and green socks.) Friday -- Black & Gold Day Today was a beautiful day to head to the farm! A HUGE "Thank you!" goes out to the Laurenz Family, the Breckenridge FFA students, and all of the volunteers for making today's field trip a success! The children learned about agriculture in Michigan, some facets of farm life, and some farming economics. It was a great learning experience for all!
