Happy Birthday, Rex!

Today was Rex's birthday. He brought ice cream sandwiches that we ate after lunch. We conducted a fun science experiment today. Since we are learning about the Statue of Liberty this week and she's made of copper that has turned green, we cleaned green (oxidized) pennies with a mixture of lemon juice, vinegar, and salt. Students who were paying attention should have come away knowing that the acid in the mixture cleaned the pennies. We are learning about measurement in math and right now we are comparing heights, lengths, and weights. I read a non-traditional version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We also compared the heights of students in our class: tall, medium and small.
