It was bright and sunny in 204 today! We learned all about circuits and created our own bulb circuits. With the many light bulbs the Scientists in 204 were able to light, it was so bright you would have needed sunglasses! Our circuits were amazing and even cooler with only one wire. Ask you rchild to share the details! We were surprised that one wire worked better than 2! In the afternoon we took our magnet tests on moodle today.
On May 7th, we are taking a quick trip in the morning to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra! It is going to be a lot of fun! Your kids will need to bring a lunch that day as we will miss our lunch hour and they will not be able to buy lunch. The permission slip went home in your child’s mail box last week and they are due by Thursday the 30th!
