Fall is surely upon us! We felt the chill in the air as we set out to gather rocks that met certain criteria. We've learned that minerals create the colors and sparkle in rocks and that water and rubbing make them smooth.
You can see the progress on the real life rock project in the background. There is one more coat of asphalt to go on the new hard top!
Everyday room 205 starts their morning with a meeting and greeting. This week we learned a new greeting, the shoe match. It was pretty popular!
We spent the week reading about dogs and ways they can help people. We learned how animals can be trained to help people with hearing and visual impairments as well as people confined to wheel chairs. We talked about how humans and animals interact and ways they can have calming or threatening effects on each other. We did an experiment by reading to our pets. Many students found that their pets relaxed to the sound of their steady voice.
Speaking of reading...
I noticed this warning label on an advertisement recently. It sounds like a risk worth taking!
Thank you to the PTA for organizing the Scholastic Book Fair and to all the families who so generously donated books to our class!
