Researching, Writing, and Drilling, oh my!
It's always fun to get out of the classroom! This morning we spent time in the Innovation Lab, computer lab, and hallway working on some projects.
We started researching and writing about our non-fiction topics for our upcoming book.
At the same we took turns working on our Dangerous Weather Venn Diagram (it's hanging in the hallway, if you have a chance to come by and see it) and our STREAM project. We did some problem solving, and then we put on our safety glasses and got out the power drill to start building our wall. Some of us even got a little dirty creating the "land." There's still a lot of work to do, but it's coming along as planned!

Lenten Rice Bowls
Rice Bowls will be sent home today. The money you collect with go directly to Catholic Relief Services (CRS). I remember collecting money for CRS using the rice bowls when I was a student at St. Ann. It's a fond and special memory knowing we were helping so many people in need, just as Jesus taught us.
Every penny counts, so when you give up that candy bar, think about putting the money you would have used in the rice bowl.

Always have GRACE in your actions and words.

Dangerous Weather
Since our speaker wasn't able to visit us today, we decided to experiment with some dangerous weather! We made a hurricane in a bottle and created a blizzard from a diaper! Diapers are absorbent because of the filling -- polymer sodium polyacrylate. When you add water, you get...SNOW!
