We met Steve Cotler, the author of Cheesie Mack

Science Morning!
On Wednesday morning,  we spent a good amount of time doing just science.  In Ms. Miller and Mrs. Koenig's class, we learned that solids can turn into liquids by warming it up and liquids can turn into solids if you freeze it. In Mrs. Goumas' class, we learned that gases can expand or compress. In Mrs. Cioni's class, we learned the phrases cubic centimeters and milliliters. If you put a 10 cc rod in a graduated cylinder with water, the water will go up by 10ml.

Very fun science project discovering different properties of matter.


Discovering Properties of Matter:
Last week we learned about matter. We did an experiment with balloons which were filled with stuff that could represent matter. We learned that solids have their own shape. When you drop a dot of water, it would'nt spread. It will stay in a bubble.


Student Council Elections:
During last week we saw a video of all the people running for student council president in order to know who to vote for as our student council leaders.

The VIP of the week is when someone makes a poster. 
It is a poster about them and they share it on Friday afternoon.

Matter
We are learning about matter in class. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Matter can be a solid, a liquid, or gas.

Geometry
Polygons are shapes that have no curves, no intersecting lines, and no openings. It has 3 or more sides. A type of polygon is a rectangle and a square.  They are alike because they both have four sides and four right angles.  They are different because the rectangle does not have four equal sides.
