Mrs. King's 2nd Grade Class!
April 24, 2015
Sharing Our Young Author Books with Mrs. Wallace's 4th Grade Class!
Celery Experiment!
This week we observed and learned that water travels through plants. We placed stalks of celery into food coloring. We discussed if only the bottom portion of the stalk of celery changes color, it would prove that water stays in a plants roots. However, if the leaves on the top of the celery changed colors, then it proves water moves through a plant! What a fun experiment to watch!!!
Late Yearbook Orders
The PTO is accepting late yearbook orders. The extra books will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. In order to have your name put on the list, you will need to pay for the book. The price of the yearbook is $20.00, and checks should be made payable to TCE PTO. Checks will be returned if there isn't a book available. Please contact me if you are unsure if you have ordered a book.
