Fairy Tale Friday was incredible!
There were so many cardboard castles!

They arrived in all shapes, sizes!










The BUGS were so excited about sharing their writing, their plays
and especially their enthusiasm for learning!

We did some Reader's Theater.

Everyone read a fairy tale s/he had written!







We had the most amazing audience!

And of course, there was cake!

Today, people from the township water department and conservation district came to talk with us about our water.
We learned about water towers, and where our water comes from.

We also learned about ways to protect our water system and the damage we can do when we aren't careful with waste and harmful chemicals.

They had a great model of an aquifer!

And then we got to make EDIBLE aquifers!!

We used sprite to be the water, ice cream to be the clay layer, cookie crumbs and marshmallows to be the soil and rocks...

...and then we dug a well (with a straw!) and sucked it up!

As we learn about various landforms, it was fun today to get our hands dirty making some of our own!

We made volcanoes...

...mountains...

...hills...

...and plateaus!
