Today in STEM lab we explored chemistry. We learned about chemical reactions by combining baking soda and vinegar. When combined the chemicals form carbon dioxide. Students harnessed this gas and used it to fill balloons. They also took a closer look at the reaction by pouring colored vinegar over baking soda.



The children worked hard the last two weeks learning about poems, so today the created their own name poems. It's great hearing the children telling each other positive traits about each other as they created their poems.

If the forecast is accurate we will not be walking to the Veterans Day Parade in the morning! Either way please be sure the children are dressed warmly! Socks, warm shoes and coats are a must. If your child does not have these essentials please let our office know. We have a clothes room at Garfield with donated items!
