We had a good week in 2B. In science, the kids learned about the different types of water on earth. They conducted an experiment and found that salt water is more dense than fresh water. We had an eye opening lesson about the different layers of the earth. It was fun to hear their reactions to this new piece of information:) Finally, on Friday, we did our 2nd STEM project of the year. The challenge was to build a boat out of aluminum foil that can float, while holding as many plastic dinosaurs as possible. The kids each designed their own boat in secret, tested their boat, made adjustments to their design, and finally gathered around as we did the final test to see who's boat could hold the most dinosaurs.

Important Information:
-The end of the 1st quarter is a mere two weeks away. Be sure to sign up for a parent teacher conference time using the link on sycamore. If you are unable to attend, I would be happy to set up a conference with you the week following parent teacher conferences
-Our room moms have been hard at work planning a wonderful Harvest Party for our 2nd grade class! Our class will be traveling to the F.I.S.H. pantry to help sort donated items during the afternoon of 10/14. We are still in need of parents who would be willing to drive students to the pantry and back, and then to possibly stay and help with the remaining party festivities. If interested, contact Darla Hollowood, Rhonda Coplin, or Kristen Gross. Thank you:)
Field Trip Permission forms for this were sent home in Friday folders. Please sign and return as soon as possible!
