Bottled Up!



Air pressure exerts a greater force than water when in a sealed bottle.
Air presses from from the outside and water presses from the inside, The air pressure on the outside is stronger than the water pressure inside. So, the water is kept from pouring out of the small hole made when the push pin is removed from the bottle.

Weekly Poem


Picking Apples
(sung to Frere Jacques)

Picking apples, picking apples,
‘Til we’re done, ‘til we’re done,
Picking all the apples, picking all the apples,
One by one, one by one.

Climb a ladder, climb a ladder,
In a tree, in a tree,
Hello, all of you. Hello, all of you
Red, yellow, green. Red, yellow, green.

It is that time of the week---video time!

Students tried hard to get this poem right with little assistance but I think their enthusiasm got the better of them LOL

Watch for yourself :-)


Ten Red Juicy Apples




Making Applesauce

To enhance our apple theme for the week, students made homemade applesauce. All but one student liked the creation.





Little Mouse and the Big Red Apple

After reading Little Mouse and the Big Red Apple, students were asked questions about the book. We listed their responses on a chart - characters, plot, problems, solutions, setting, and ending.

What Do You See?

We used a pencil in a jar filled half-way with water during Science instruction today, as students learned that light rays bend when passing from one substance to another (light refraction).

The pencil appears to be broken because the light returning from the parts of the pencil below the water bends when it hits the water surface. The side of the pencil not in the water is seen from a different direction. Thus, the pencil appears to be broken.
