We explored the sun's strong rays by doing this science experiment on our classroom windows.

The students were introduced to the series Mr. Putter and Tabby by Cynthia Rylant.  They are getting to know the main characters and will act out the dialogue in these stories next week.  You may want to check out this series from the Wiggin Memorial Library this summer.
