Learning About Aquifers

The township water department came and taught us about aquifers and how to help protect our groundwater from contamination. 

  It was very interesting to learn about containment layers, wells, and water towers!

 

To help us remember how it all goes together, we made edible aquifers!  

We used Sprite in the bottom of the cup to represent the ground water way below the surface.  Then a scoop of ice cream represented the containment layer. 

On top, we use crushed Oreos as top soil, marshmallows as rocks and sprinkles as dirt to show all the things that can be above ground on top of our water. 

 

Finally, we pushed a "well" - a straw down through all the layers to get to our groundwater.  

Yum!

Special Project

The B.U.G.S. started a special project today.   

They were so excited about growing something from seeds but were surprised to find the seeds to be so tiny!

 We are looking forward to sprouts in a couple weeks and watching our plants grow!

(We will keep you posted!)

Your Generosity

 This fall, parents, grandparents, neighbors and friends all came in support of the Early and Later Elementaries and test drove a Ford car as a fundraiser for our schools.  The BUGS of Room 18 are especially grateful, for not only did we get new book bins, a new paper organizer and some new books for our classroom, but we also got an iPad mini! 

The students use both of our classroom iPads during math stations right now.  They love exploring new math apps to practice addition and subtraction skills!

Thanks to all of you who supported our classroom this fall and especially to the Ford Motor Company and Tapper Ford for their generous donation to our classrooms and schools!
