What will my child do in Science Lab?

Your child will have Science in their classroom as well as Science Lab as a 
resource. Quite often, Science Lab will be a "hands on" experience with
various themes being explored throughout the school year. At times, Science
Lab will be a supplement to the material being taught in the classroom. At
other times, we will be learning about a completely different topic.

What is Shoe Box Science?

The Shoe Box Science Center is a center in the Lab where we would like to 
display things that the children have brought in to share with their class
as well as with the other classes. Any item of scientific interest may be
brought in on your child's Science Lab day in a shoe box labeled with your
child's name and his/her teacher's name. If possible, please include a bit
of information about the item - what it is, where it was found, etc. We
will discuss the item in class and put it on display for a period of time to
be enjoyed by others. The item WILL be returned, but please be aware that
anything sent in will most likely be handled by the other children. If
there is something that you are concerned about, please send in a note with
your child, and we can send the item home with your child the same day.
