 Welcome Izzy

Many of you saw this morning that we have a new student in our classroom. Izzy and her family are back in the area after living abroad all fall. The staff and students are all excited to have Izzy join our class for the remainder of the year.

Today has gone remarkably smoothly given that it is the first day back after a long vacation. The kids jumped right back into that class routine.  We were also lucky that our outdoor classroom was one of the outdoor spaces that was not flooded in the December rains. We do have a new sandy beach along the water's edge, but the rest of the area remained mostly unchanged.

 VINS: Sinking and Floating Hannah, from VINS, visited again today. This time she brought bins that we filled with water and the kids experimented with various objects to see if the object sunk or floated. Each pair of students was given two plastic lids that they were tasked with sinking. The students went from bin to bin, loaded their boats with different objects, and counted how many of each object (foam blocks, rocks, corks, washers...) caused their boat to sink. They found out that the large blue glass jewels only took two jewels to sink their boat whereas it took many more of the small multicolored jewels to do the same.  No matter how many foam blocks or corks they put on their boats, the boats continued to float.
