History: Students started learning about the Early Exploration of the Americas this week. They learned about the explorer, Christopher Columbus, as well as the other conquistadors who conquered the land of the Aztecs and Incas (the Early Americas).
Science: We finished the second quarter with an experiment on candy canes. We had a cup of Sprite, a cup of cold water, a cup of hot water, a cup of cooking oil, a cup of lemon juice and a cup of vinegar. We looked at 5 - 10 minute intervals to see what was happening to our candy canes. We were experimenting on which one dissolved the slowest and which one dissolved the fastest.
Literature: Students listened to the teacher read The Fir Tree story by Hans Christian Andersen and colored their own Christmas Tree.
Have a safe and restful break!
