It has been a very "colorful" time here in K4/K5 science class.  We are working on our color unit, focusing on primary and secondary colors.  Ask your child which colors are which, and how we go about making those secondary colors.

Our lessons had us creating our own color wheel, making a color book and doing a few different experiments with color.  The classes mixed 2 primary colors in some shaving cream to create a new color.  It was fun to watch their faces as the colors changed.

We also did an experiment with colored water.  The primary colors absorbed into the paper towel and transferred into empty cups and created secondary colors.  Ask your student for more details about how this actually worked.  It was pretty cool!!

Our Valentine's Day party is next week Friday.  Your child can bring in valentines for our classmates.  (There are 18 students in our class.)  Thank you again for those who are helping out!
