SCIENCE FAIR

WAY back in March....Oh my gosh, I'm still behind; We had our first ever Science Fair at JCA. 

The kids, teachers, parents were so excited about all the fun experiments that were going on! 

The kindergarten and first grade classes did a project together with the help of Ms. Krissy and Ms. Shelley. 2nd-5th grades all had individual experiments to do and posters to make. 

Please enjoy these science fair pictures

Somewhere along the way a photo of the first grade board was missed/lost.  My apologies for this.  While there were First-Third place ribbons given to some students, each child received a ribbon for participation.  Each project was unique and had great effort put into it.  JCA is very proud of each & every student!!

The Dolphin class also celebrated Leap Day during February with many fun games, most of the pictures didn't turn out due to rapid movement! This group provided wonderful service at the Applebee's Pancake Fundraiser, and represented our school well!

I am definitely behind on getting February's blog up. There were some technical difficulties and I had to start all over after having most of the blog done; so please forgive the delay. I am also going to post a little different this time as well. This blog is Ms. Shelley's, first grade, spiders.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Keeping our classes small make this possible!

MS. SHELLEY'S CLASS-THE SPIDERS

For their science unit, this class tasted roots,

stems, and leaves!

I wonder what they tasted like?

Then they made penguins

This went along with their English lesson

Learning while you eat sounds great to me!

Next, making snowballs

out of marshmallows!

To help with the study of plants,

first graders made mosaic art
