The students did great this week taking their achievement tests. Their hard work each morning earned them some fun experiments and activities each afternoon. We learned about different animal adaptations through a couple of science experiments. We questioned why ducks preen their feathers and how polar bear blubber helps them stay warm. The kids formed hypothesis and then conducted their experiments, finding some exciting results. The kids also got to participate in a class math olympic games where they jumped and threw different items and had to measure their distances.
