Dear Parents,
Last week we did a small art activity with eye droppers and food colouring using coffee filters and ending up using cotton balls and sponges to compare absorbency rates, because, frankly, those coffee filters were swimming. Student interest has been considerable.
 |
| You can see the water pump in action, as well as the sieve. The two students in the foreground are playing with eye droppers |
 |
| The student in the front is funnelling the water to make a wheel turn, while another is trying to figure out how the water pump works. |
 |
| How many drops to fill up the graduated cylinder? At least 7, one student told me today. |
 |
| Another favourite activity is fishing with the filters. Mostly they're catching eye droppers. |
Mr. Alegria's influence in our classroom continues even after he's moved on:
 |
| Books on CD have made the listening centre a go-to hotspot in the classroom. |
 |
| The doctor's kit has been a hit at the science centre. As the interest in the restaurant cools, we may transform it into a doctor's office. |
(Library tomorrow)
