Cool Science with Mr. Clay!

Mr. Clay and his little scientist!

Wow! What a fun Friday our class had! Mr. Clay, Meredith's dad, came to our class and did some amazing science experiments with the kids. Mr. Clay discussed the states of matter with the children, the components of air, and then created carbon dioxide bubbles and "clouds!" The kids loved his experiments, and his "cool science" was definitely the topic of conversation for the rest of the day! He promised to visit us again this school year, so we're all looking forward to that!

We also had our Jog For Jefferson assembly and found out that our class raised the third largest amount of money in the entire school! Because of this, the PTO is providing us with a pizza lunch! The kids were thrilled! Thanks to all of you who supported our school by donating to the Jog or helping your children collect pledges. I'll let you know the date of our pizza lunch soon. Aside from our class prize, some of our kids were lucky enough to have their names drawn for individual prizes. Devon won four passes to Fort Rapids Waterpark, Avery won a gift card to Justice, and Fox's younger brother won four passes to Coco Key Waterpark. (I told Fox we're counting this prize, too, since he'll get to go along with his brother!) :)

I hope everyone has enjoyed this beautiful fall weather and warm temperatures! My husband and I took Kate and Aubrey to Circle S Farms on Saturday to go pumpkin picking. It's a great place with a petting zoo, a sunflower maze, and a hayloft with two different slides. We had a hard time getting our girls off the slides to go do anything else!
