YCIS Book Fair
We will not have a time to go together as a group, but you are free to stop by any time. If your child is taking state tests, you can check out the book fair before/during/after testing
Science Experiment
This week we will be looking at the makeup of the cell.
The older kids (Grades 4/5 and up) will be making wet-mount slides of onion skin and celery slices. They will be making pen and ink drawings of what they see through the microscope at two different magnifications. There will be a discussion of cells, their function and basic parts, and they will also be given a list of plant cell vocabulary to write out, and drawings of cells to label and color.
The younger kids will be hearing a story from a related picture book, doing some coloring or other fun activity and then creating a visual representation of a cell (exact medium to be determined!)
To ensure we have enough supplies, please respond to this email if you will be joining us on May 5th. We hope to see you there!
