We are off to a great 2011! It has been a busy start to the new year! This week we are spending a lot of time on Science Fair. We learned about Problem & Hypothesis yesterday and Experimental Design today. Thank you Mrs. Brower for helping us through the whole Science Fair process. It has been really interesting to hear about all of the experiments that the kids are doing at home. I can't wait to see and hear about the final results. If you have any questions about Science Fair, please feel free to email, call, or stop in. I would be more than happy to help!
We spent time writing to our South Korean Pen Pals before break and we are eager to hear back from them in the upcoming weeks. While we were on break they sent us a Christmas card in the mail. SO EXCITING!!! Just today I sent our care package in the mail to South Korea. I am not sure who will be more anxious awaiting to hear from them when they receive it, me or the kids. :) We sent them Crayola crayons, an American flag, Milford Warrior pencils, candy canes, cards, Silly Bandz and something special for Lauren Korenstra Teacher.
We are still receiving responses from our favorite authors too! Each week we get a letter or two. The most exciting part is getting letters that are hand written by the author. What a unique artifact to keep and treasure!
Last but not least, I promised I would post the link for the Florida man that is living in the Lion enclosure for a month...so here it is. I watched it for a bit this evening, but it was dark. Since it is live, I would recommend checking it out before it gets dark. :)
