Students videos on Thermal Energy
Dear students,
We have been making our own thermal energy videos from books we read on the topic. Please will begin watching and listening to your classmate’s videos next week. You may share positive comments or questions after watching them. I can’t wait to see them all!
Please bring a set of earphones to school on Monday, May 29th. Please put it in a ziplock bag with your name on it. We will likely use them for 2-3 weeks.
From, Ms. Sim

tomatosphere update- May 23rd
Dear Students,
Today our tomato plants have grown even more! If plants need air, water, soil and sun to grow. Would seeds also need that sort of environment to be healthy too? Group G has twenty-two plants growing and Group H has twenty-three plants growing.
After this beautiful sunny weekend, I know I need sunshine to grow, too. What are some things you need to grow healthy and strong?
Sincerely, Ms. Sim

Introduction to Tomatosphere
Dear students,
We are involved in an out-of-this-world class research experiment called Tomatosphere.
What did you find interesting from the Tomatosphere introduction video? Please share your questions. Why would astronauts need to learn about growing plants? Why do you think we should we study about plants? What do you think would happen to seeds if they went to outer space? I look forward to reading your comments.
From, Ms. Sim

Thank you to students and our parent volunteers!
Dear students,
We had such a wonderful day on Friday releasing our salmon at Byrne Creek. I thank all of you for following directions and for making it such a fun day.
