September 30

Today was a busy day of lots of learning.  One of the things we learned about was classifying books according to genre.

We also learned about electricity and creating circuits.

We experimented with different conductors and insulators.

Homework: 

- good copy of writing "All About Me" is due tomorrow

- read 30 minutes

- bring a "D" battery and a paper plate by Thurs.

- explain to a parent what is a conductor and an insulator 

Welcome to a New School Year! (Finally)
