On Tuesday our class participated with the rest of the school in the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction projects that will be happening at Brimhall over the next several months. It was cold but students did a great job listening to speakers including: our superintendent, school board members, the Roseville mayor, Dr. Bussman, and several Brimhall students. Students were excited to shout "1, 2, 3 Dig!! for the ceremonial diggers!"
This past week we learned all about apples. We began the week by learning about the life cycle of an apple and how an apple tree changes during each of the four seasons. On Tuesday, students had a chance to taste three different types of apples for a special apple taste test. They tasted red delicious, golden delicious, and Granny Smith apples. We then graphed our favorites to see which apple our class liked the best. The overwhelming winner was golden delicious!
We ended the week by doing several apple experiments. We started by making predictions about whether or not an apple would float in a bucket of water. We found out that apples do indeed float.
Students also had a chance to use balance scales to find out if different classroom objects were heavier or lighter than an apple.
