Science Why is the sky blue? Where does the  rain come from? Why are some animals  furry and some are not? Where do polar  bears live? Why do magnets  stick to the  refrigerator? Science is all about asking questions and investigating and researching to find out the answers. We began the year investigating who scientists are and how scientists work safely and orderly.  Now we are in the middle of our Physical Science study of Magnetism. We have learned a lot from our exploration and investigations. Here are some things we have learned: Magnets stick to chair legs, marker board,  some pencil ends, paper clips, door frame, another magnet, windows with wires in them. Magnets do not stick to pennies, chair seat, crayons, door, paper, books, window with no wire, unifix cubes, blocks, clothes. Magnets must stay away from Miss Fairchild's computer.( or any computer) Magnets have a north and a south side or end. Same sides don't like each other, they repel or push away. Different sides like each other, they attract or pull together. Magnets can pull through things. Magnets have different amount of power.

Social Studies   We will begin the year learning the routines for our class and the school When we all know and follow the rules and routines we can all do our best .  We will also learn about leaders in our homes, school and community. Why do we need these leaders, what do they do for us?
