Word of the day: detest
We carried out an experiment today to illustrate what a fair test in science is. When you perform a fair test, you change only ONE thing in the experiment. Our "test" was seeing who could eat a bowl of pudding the fastest. The amount of pudding each person got was not the same, the start times of the eating was different, everyone used different utensils (an eggbeater for someone, a potato masher for someone, a turkey baster for someone else... ) - the only thing that should have changed was the person eating the pudding. We learned that our test was not a good one because more than one thing changed in it.
The first graders are bringing home a new batch of spelling words - ones with an "at" root. This week's spelling test will be on Friday morning again.
Individual school photos will be taken this Wednesday and class photos will be taken on Thursday. Shine up those smiles!
Someone had asked about Lego art last week and I said I'd put some up on the blog for your viewing delight. Just click on the word Lego in the last sentence and enjoy!
