On Thursday, the students spent the day celebrating Valentine's Day! We celebrated in the morning by creating heart valentines, competing in games, and opening our own Valentine's. We also were able to enjoy some tasty, healthy breakfast treats. Thank you to Jennifer Giambrone, Kimberly Eloe, and Heidi Servi for your support during the party! Also, a huge thank you to the families who donated supplies to our party. Our party was a huge success!
In the afternoon, our students were scientists. The students were given candy hearts and a cup of water, vinegar, and soda. Their job was to determine which liquid would cause the candy hearts to float, and which liquid would dissolve the candy heart. The scientists started by creating predictions and then observed the candy hearts in each liquid. The students concluded that candy hearts float in soda due to the air within the soda and candy. The students also discovered the vinegar dissolved the candy hearts since vinegar is an acid. Our students loved celebrating this special holiday with our crew!
