What's Happening in Room 23?

 
 Our bean plants have finally begun to sprout!
 
 
 The children are so excited!
 
 
In Language Arts, we researched the life of George Washington Carver.  The students wrote about his life and accomplishments and made the portraits of the famous botanist. 
 



In Math, we are learning about fractions.  This is the fraction sort the students completed in class.
 


 
In Science, we learned about matter and the three states of matter:  solids, liquids and gases. 
 
 
This experiment showed the students how solids( baking soda) and liquids (white vinegar) can react and create a gas, blowing up the balloon. 
 


 
This is Oobleck.  It is a suspension created by combining cornstarch and water.  It goes from a solid state to a liquid state and back again. 



 Solid....
 
...then liquid.
 
It was a busy week of learning!
