Upcoming Due Dates
Classroom Happenings
ELA- Mrs. Forderhase
Science- Mrs. Kenney
This week in science, we continued our Chemistry Unit. Students started the week with an endothermic and exothermic reactions lab. Students observed how certain salts interacted with water. Classes used ammonium nitrate, calcium chloride, and water. Then, students learned about the different states of matter. We finished the week with learning about the Kinetic Molecular Theory. Next week, we will continue with our Chemistry Unit and take the Chemistry Summative Test. If you would like to support our classroom projects, we would greatly appreciate donations of tissue paper, duct tape, hot glue sticks, and glue sticks. Thank you!
Social Studies- Mr. Ward
