Our energy unit is in full swing! We spent the last few days learning about electrical energy where the students made circuits that lit light bulbs and learned about insulators and conductors. Today we worked on making an electromagnet from a nail. The students learned that when a wire wrapped nail is hooked up to a battery, it becomes magnetic. We then conducted an experiment to determine what variables would cause the magnet to become stronger - more wrapping of the wire or more batteries. The students got practice recording and graphing data as they worked to pick up the most paper clips.

We are very excited to start the DARE program this year. Chief of Police Jeff Madsen will be coming into our classroom every Wednesday to share important information on drugs, alcohol and tobacco. We spend a lot of time talking about making good choices in life and the students have the opportunity to get to know Officer Madsen a little better.
Once again our party committee planned an awesome party for Valentines Day. There was dancing and games and kickball and lots of food. The kids were very creative with their Valentine box creations. It was good to have a little fun in the midst of this long winter.
