W is for Water

 

Today was Water Fun Day!  I am thankful the sun was out and the rain stayed away!  We played Duck, Duck, Splash and the kids loved it. 

 

 

Then we had Fill the Bucket Relays.

 

We played toss the sponge, then fill the bucket with the water gun. 

 

 

We had a "splashing" good time!

Science--All About Soil

 

In Science, we have been learning about the kinds of soils.  We investigated clay, loam and sand.

 

 

Some students feeling the loam to determine it's texture and particle sizes. 

 

Science seems to be the class's favorite class of the day! 

 

For our investigation we used this booklet from Taylor Bocook
