We will have our first class auction on Tuesday, Nov. 25. This is a chance for students to sell homemade items to their classmates for mini money. We only do a couple auctions a year, so don't miss out on this chance to make a fun item at home to sell to a lucky classmate!

We made paper cup telephone this week to learn how sound can travel through a solid object like a string. Then we used balloons to feel vibrations in the air. Students discovered that sound travels in waves and can move through solids, liquids, and gases.
Check out this tall tower we made during Soft Starts this week. It touched the ceiling!
