Important Dates:
January 29 - Library
February 14 - Early Release 12:15
February 26-March 6 - No School
Science:
We started our science unit all about sound this week! The kid are having fun exploring different sounds and discovering how sound is produced. Our big word this week was vibration, vibrating matter can make sound. We listened for sounds around the school, explored the sounds different materials make, and made kazoos!
The scientists worked so hard when we went to three different places throughout the school to find sounds. And even when it was time to stop and walk to a new place, they would continue writing while walking in a line!
Next week, we are going to continue to explore sound. The students will get to create their own instruments form a band, and create a song! I can't wait for next week!
The kids probably shared their kazoos when they got home on Friday. You should have heard the first grade hallway! All four classes using their homemade kazoos! Here is a video that shows how to make a kazoo at home. It's a little different from ours (I just got 4 inch by 4 inch squares of plastic wrap, wax paper, and aluminum foil). Enjoy!
