Catty Shack

We had a wild day!
Multi Cultural Day
Balloon Lab and Laughs
We are continuing our learning on matter. Today we looked at the state of matter known as gas. We began by identifying air as a gas. We blew up a balloon to show that our air could fill the balloon and the gas took the shape of the balloon.
When Mrs. Walag released her air, the sound the balloon made sounded just like a "toot." Mrs. Walag began laughing hystetically along with the class. I made this face!
Next, friends hypothesized about whether a balloon could be blown up inside of an empty water bottle. 
No real luck, even after three trials!
Her balloon filled up with air. The friends determined that there must have been a way for the air to escape from around the balloon. E discovered a hole in the bottom of her balloon. The class learned that the empty bottle was filled with air. The balloon could not inflate much because of the air pushing on the balloon. Helium, another gas, is lighter than air! Just check out the two filled balloons!
Here are some friends filling their ballons with air.
We learned that the balloon could not be blown up because there was air in the bottle surrounding the balloon and pushing on it.
Mrs. Walag then showed them a thing or two.
Snow Day
Yes, we live in Florida, but the weather has been cold! We used this opportunity to use our imaginations and we created a Snow Day!
We used Lester Laminack's beautiful book to teach point of view. After discovering the true point of view the story was being told by, we went back to the text and looked closely for visual or textual clues!
We then created winter poetry, art, and last but not least, enjoyed tasty hot chocolate.
