Back to school!!
From Mr. Aur: Thanks to James Newell, Eric Moore, Kevin Temple, and Rafe Bomprezzi, the sidewalks and school entrances have been cleared and ready for the students to arrive tomorrow. The parking lot is still messy, but quickly melting away. If you are running a bit behind tomorrow, do not rush and do not worry if you are late. Drive safely and slowly. Stage, Alturia, and Charles Bryan are all clear. It was a great unscheduled break. Time to get back to school.
IXL reminder
Our weekly IXL is due tomorrow, and you only have a week left to complete your RQ book/quiz.

One of my icicles grew!!
It didn’t rain or snow, but one of my icicles actually got longer. Can you draw a conclusion as to how that happened?
Ice Marble results!
It worked! The balloon in the freezer was frozen solid. AND... one of the ones I put outside actually froze once I cleared the snow away, so the snow actually did work as an insulator on the first batch.
They are sooo pretty! The blue one was in the freezer and the clear one was outside.

How can penguins survive in one of the coldest places on Earth?
Penguins have dense, oily feathers and a thick layer of fat beneath their skin. All of these things act as insulation, keeping their natural body heat in. That’s how they stay warm!
States of Matter
Did my ice marbles experiment actually work? The short answer is no. All I got was some really pretty colored snow when I popped them.
I put the water-filled balloons outside yesterday afternoon when the temperatures were below freezing. Last night it was in the teens. But the water didn’t freeze at all! Do you know what else happened yesterday? I few inches of snow fell and covered up the balloons. I actually had to dig them out!!!
What effect do you predict the snow had on the balloons?
The snow actually insulated the balloons, so the water didn’t freeze. The snow was insulation, just like the fat and feathers on penguins.
I wonder what will happen if I put one in my freezer — where it has no insulation? I think I’ll try it out with my last balloon. Tune in tomorrow for the results.
Taking some measurements
How much snow did you get? What’s the longest icicle you have hanging from your roof?

Ice Marbles
I made ice marbles today. They are balloons filled with colored water. Tomorrow morning I’ll check to see if they’re frozen solid — ice marbles!
Marcella and her brother are getting in on the action, too!
Look at the beautiful sky! I’m glad y’all got out to play before this next round hit. It’s a mix of sleet and snow here in Bartlett.
Anna and her dog
It looks like Anna’s dog LOVES the snow as much as she does. John and Anna are making snow angels. That’s one thing I haven’t done yet.
Ash Wednesday & No school again tomorrow and Friday
Look who I saw at mass today?? It was good to see you, Anna! I sure do miss all of you.
Here is a message from Mr. Aur:
The Catholic Diocese of Memphis announced that schools will be closed on Thursday and Friday. Enjoy the long break, read at least one book, play in the snow, be kind to each other, and send someone a smile.
Pictures, please!
If you do any snow activities, don’t forget to email me a picture, and I’ll post it on the blog.
Feeding the birds
Another fun activity is bird watching. I threw out some bird seed and LOTS of hungry bird came to eat. I saw a blue jay, a female cardinal, a crow, and lots of other cute birds, but I don’t know what they are.
If you don’t have bird seed, you can put out peanuts or fruit (but not apple seeds).
Snow painting
Have you tried snow painting? Here’s the recipe, but remember to ask a parent to help you. I used a squirt bottle, but you can use paint brushes, squirt guns, or spray bottle. BE CAREFUL! Food coloring will stain.
