This Week w/ Ms. Werth
Dec. 7th - Dec. 11th
Helping Hands
Thank you so much to all of you that were willing and able to contribute to our community outreach project - Helping Hands. Because of your extreme generosity, lots of students/families in our school will have a much better Christmas than they might have otherwise been able. So again, from the bottom of my heart, personally knowing most of these students/families, thank you.
Math and Science
This week in science we have concluded our study of magnets and electricity with an activity where students tested objects from our test object bag to determine whether they were insulators or conductors in our circuits. We also spent some time discussing the prevalence of electricity in our society with an article entitled: Wired World which was a nice culminating activity for our unit.
