High Tech High Touch

On Wednesday, March 3rd, the children had an opportunity to experience High Tech High Touch for the first time! This is such a wonderful PTA program we are lucky to have here at Spears! Classes participate in hands-on science experiments. Check out the experiments Science Stan did with the class!


Science Stan

Listening to Science Stan talk about weather words


Ask your child how to make wind!


We're ready to go "fishing" for ice cubes! Ask your child where weather comes from!
























Science Stan talked to us about how a tornado is made.





































Ask your child about air pressure and suction cups!























Thanks to air pressure and heat we successfully took a hard boiled egg and squeezed it through the lid of a jar! It was amazing!

Log Cabin Fun!

I wanted to share a project we did a few weeks ago when we celebrated the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln during the week of President's Day. We had so much fun!
We used craft sticks and shapes to design our own log cabins. When we finished we created a landscape and used a real Abe Lincoln penny to hang in the window.









We're all done and very proud of our work!






This is what the hallway looks like right outside our classroom.
