Sixth Grade Sedulous Scholars: "Hale Goers"

My 'students weren't alive to see Hale Bop, but today they were very alive to see "Hale Goers" :) Even though we were disappointed to not be able to go to the chocolate factory, the day was not a total wash because we had our comet experiment to liven up the day!

The students measured, mixed, and hypothesized on what would happen with our ingredients. Some of the boys were allowed to get out some excess energy by smashing the dry ice and getting it ready for Mrs. Hartman and Mrs. Goers to add to the mixture. We then allowed our comets to harden, while students watched them boil. Finally, we were able to head out to the parking lot and play catch with it while we watched it dissipate. The experiment was enjoyable and a great learning experience for all.

We took our history test today on the French Revolution and will finish up our learning packets over the next couple days. We also read the culmination of The Scarlet Pimpernel, and will enjoy the movie production over the next couple days. Feel free to send in popcorn and coffee filters for the students to enjoy.

Coffeehouse - Since we were unable to get to Mrs. Cavanaugh's, please provide an opportunity for your scholar to get some goodies for his or her table for Friday night. The scholars can bring them to school marked with their name and I will put them on the tables when we set up on Friday. Scholars will be able to find their tables based on their centerpieces that they will finish tomorrow. Please try to be to the school by 6:20. We would like to start on time.
