Grade 3/4 Social Studies

We are learning about India, Tunisia, Peru and Ukraine in Social Studies this year. We are learning about them so we can know about different people and places. We colored the flags of those countries to learn what their flags look like. Do you know which flag belongs to each country?

Miss Taylor's Grade 7/8 Science

We did a paper chromatography experiment to see if colors come out of a water soluble black marker and to determine if it is a pure substance or a mixture.  These are all of the colors that go into making the black ink.

Our classroom smells like onions

In Science 10, we have been looking at how science and technology have lead to our understanding of what a cell is and what it can do.  The accidental "invention" of the microscope is probably, hands-down, the greatest technology that has furthered our understanding of the smallest unit of life.  Today, we used the microscopes to look at wet mount cells of the membrane that is found between the layers of an onion.  We had to prepare the slides, draw scale diagrams and then stain the slides to see if we could see anything better or different.  Tomorrow, we will look at the critters swimming around in some water that has had hay steeping in it for a few days.

We're Back!!!!!!!!

It's always great to start off the new school year with a delicious breakfast, made by the members of our fabulous parent council (We even had one dad here this morning.  Thanks Steve!)

sorry jenny ;)

The assembly was an extravaganza of giveaways and information.  Some students got right to using their notebooks and crayons.

Following the assembly, all of my classes had the opportunity to play six different "Minute to Win It" games.  Most impressive were the students who were able to stack 3 golf balls on top of each other (it may have taken them more than a minute to do it, but this was a tough task!)  It was a hoot!

For the next two weeks or so, each classroom will be introducing themselves to you as a group. This will be followed by daily posts from students and staff.  We hope you continue to enjoy seeing all of the wonderful things that are happening at Savanna School.
