Please remember the Science and Engineering Fair is next week. The 5th and 6th grader’s need to have their project and display board turned in to me on Tuesday the 4th. This is a huge, school wide event that will be presented on Tuesday for the 5th graders and Thursday for the 6th graders. The 4th grader’s are working on a group project that will be displayed on Monday. This is a mandatory project and there will be consequences in class if they do not complete it. It doesn’t need to be fancy but it does need to fulfill all the requirements that were assigned in the packets handed out in December.

We are making mummified apples in class! We put slices of apple in different types of salt compounds to see which one would be best at making desiccated apple “mummy’s”. We weighed each apple at the beginning and we will weight them again in a couple weeks to see the results!

The sixth graders have worked on an amazing geometry project. They carefully measured the entire south Kiva, drew their findings to scale on graph paper, and then determined the perimeter, area, and even volume of the room. The other students also had the opportunity to figure out the area and perimeter using a copy id the map. The 6th grader’s were so excited and proud of themselves. They wanted to check how accurate they were, so we all went down to the office and asked the amazing ladies there if they could find out the actual square footage of the room. After several calls,  the office staff tracked down the information for us. We were only 45 sqft off!

Chili making went awesome today as well. Thanks to all who brought in supplies. The kids all thought it was delicious but a lot of them said it could use more spice. We will have to add a little more tomorrow. Just a reminder the Chili Cook-off is Thursday night at 5:30 to 7pm. Hope to see you there.

Some of my garlic I brought in today was sprouting so we planted it. Maybe we will have some garlic in a couple months!
