Future Paleontologists
Today we went "digging" for fossils and made our own casts and molds. It's amazing what you can do with play-dough, shells, Vaseline, liquid glue, plaster, random gems, small animals and bugs :) The kids had a great time and I really enjoyed watching them discuss and discover today!!! #scienceshouldbefun

The Great Mail Race
We received a letter from a school in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. Inside the letter was a questionnaire that another 3rd grade student filled out with information about the city, state and school he was from. There was a blank questionnaire that we were to fill out and send back to his school. This was such a fun experience for us. The kids were able to learn about another school and how it is alike and different from Bright Star. Hopefully we are able to continue this project and learn about other 3rd grade classes in the United States.
