Room Parents!

Thank you to Mrs. Cameli (Juliana's mom) and Mrs. Shea (Aidan's mom) for volunteering to be Room Parents for 206!

They'll help organize our first special snack for Halloween on Friday, 10/30! Please no costumes. Students will be allowed to wear a silly/crazy hat on that day, if they would like.

Student Council!

Congratulations Juliana, Kenna, Arya, Alex and Jake for running for 4th & 5th Grade Student Council.

Each student running wrote a speech that introduced themself, explained characteristics that would make them a good representative for Room 206, and dicussed some ideas that would make Pine Glen a great place to learn!

I am SO proud of all 5 of you! You did an amazing job writing and presenting your speeches.

WOOHOO!!

CONGRATULATIONS Juliana and Alex!

Room 206 has two great representatives. We're excited to see what you can do!

Rosie & Daffodil

Thank you Ms. Pavlicek for bringing a little bit of the Burlington Science Center to our classroom! We welcomed our classroom pet gerbils "Rosie and Daffadil" to Room 206! We were thrilled! Many students asked interesting questions such as:

• What should gerbils eat?
• Why do they need things to chew on?
• What type of animal are gerbils?
• Are they rodents?
  

Ms. Pavlicek was ready with all the answers! Nice audience etiquette 206!!!

Working hard during Language Arts

I am proud of all of you! Continue trying your very best!

Move that Truck!

Students investigated Isaac Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: It takes more force to move an object with greater mass than an object with less mass.

Alex and Chris adding more mass by adding paper clips to the paper cup. Do you think 20 paper clips will make the toy truck move forward?

How many pennies will make the toy truck move?

Kenna, Aidan, Alex and Chris discussing their findings and writing what they observed. Which mass moved that truck? Paper clips or pennies?
