Fall Foliage and First Grade Fun


First grade enjoyed a chilly, but BEAUTIFUL, nature walk around campus this week!  The fall foliage along our cross country trail is stunning!  We even stopped to smell some evergreens along the way and spotted a friendly spider on our FPD sign.

4th Grade Borax Crystals

Today in Science Lab, fourth grade students created their "starter kits" for making Borax crystal ornaments. They are bringing these home today.











The slides that we went over in class were so helpful that we thought we would share them with you on the blog as well. We can't wait to see all of the Borax crystal ornaments on 12/6!!!

Oh Christmas Tree...


This week our FPD kindergarten students learned about evergreen and deciduous trees.  


They then designed tissue paper Christmas trees using a wax resist technique.  These sweet kindergartners definitely have the Christmas spirit!

















Soda Solutions


Our FPD 5th graders have been studying Mixtures and Solutions over the past few weeks.  Today we learned more about concentration and dilution by doing a soda taste-test--what a YUMMY way to learn!
