 This week students in K-2 have been exploring magnetism. Students receive a box of items and predict which items they think will be magnetic.  They then test their predictions and record their results.  A discussion of why some things are magnetic and others are not leads to a conclusion that some metal things are magnetic. 

1/21/2009 K-1  Students in K-1 have been learning about healthy eating and making proper choices about the foods they eat.  They are learning that "eating a rainbow" of fruits and vegetables each day we can keep our bodies healthy and working properly.
