Expedition Express

What’s the Matter in Mrs. Welch’s Room:  Case Study 1 continues to build the Background Knowledge of students into the world of Matter.  We have taken a closer look at SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, and GASES as well as understanding ALL matter is made of ATOMS combined into MOLECULES. 

Experts in the Classroom:  On March 5 and 12, we will welcome Sierra Nevada Journeys into our classroom to share and demonstrate the basics of ENERGY.  This will be a wonderful kick-off to Case Study 2 of our ENERGY MATTERS Expedition. 

Upcoming Fieldwork:  I am still organizing and planning upcoming fieldwork for our Spring Expedition.  Information on dates will be coming shortly.

Winter is finally here:  Now that Mother Nature has finally found the “ON” switch to winter, please send your child to school prepared for the weather.  Jackets, snow pants, hats, gloves, and snow boots are essential for your child’s comfort.  We do go outside for recess and lunch, so it is important that they are warm and dry.  Nothing makes a child more uncomfortable than to sit in the classroom wearing wet clothing while trying to learn.

Nevada County Library:  We will be walking to the Library on Wednesday, March 1.  Please help them to remember to place their library items in their backpacks so they will be returned on time without an overdue fee.
