Characteristics of Matter

     We used MysteryScience.com to discover some properties of materials and discuss why we wear clothing.  Our final project was to create a hat to help us block the sun.  Here's what we came up with using a paper plate, paper towel, and foil.  Great Job!

Good Fit Books

     It's that time of year where we learn to choose books for our reading baskets.  We talk about if the books we choose fit the reason we want to read as well as our reading levels.  We need books that are "Just Right" like we need shoes to be "Just Right."

     Seth was a good sport and tried on shoes for us to see if the different shoes were good for his purpose of being in school and if they fit him -- not too large or too small.  

Mr. Games's work shoes were a little too big.

Flip flops might work for school but not with socks!  These are a little big.  We'd better try again.

It's not raining today and wearing boots that are too large won't work well.

Tennis shoes are great for school but again one pair is too big.

Uh oh!  Mrs. Games is in on the action.  Seth's shoe is too small for her and her shoe is too large for Seth.  They'd better go with their own shoes for the day at school.
