Trash Lab

What did you learn about the amount of trash you produce on a daily basis?  How much of it can be recycled, reduced, or reused?  What practical steps can you take to lessen your impact on our environment and increase the sustainability of the ecosystem?

Science Night

Wow!!!  What an amazing night!  You all were so fantastic!  Words cannot express how proud and honored I am to be your teacher.  Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication, not only this last week, but everyday.  I am honestly the luckiest teacher in the world to have the opportunity to work with each of you.  Thank you for making science night and everyday rock!!!

This night would not have been possible without our other helpers.  I would also like to send a special thank you to Mrs. Unkeless for running countless errands, giving her time to help pass out tickets tonight, and for helping us set up and clean up.  Thank you Ms. Tammy for making all of our letters, getting us poster board, and making us countless copies.  Thank Ms. Sandy for all of the laminating.  Thank you Mr. Eric for helping us set up extra tables.  Thank you to all of your other teachers for giving us extra time for practice.  Thank you Mrs. Snider for my emergency big gulp.  And, a big thank you to all of your parents for all of their support.  Please make sure you express your gratitude to these people next time you see them.  Without our amazing support staff, none of this would have been possible.

Again, amazing work tonight!  I can't wait to start planning for science fair!
