Mrs. Baxter's and Mrs. Smith's second graders enjoyed a fun field trip to the Sloan Museum, exploring scientific concepts, especially in physics. Since we've been learning about states of matter, we also learned how to make our own ice cream—what a delicious way to learn!

With the cold and wet weather today, the annual Kindergarten walking trip to the fire station needed to look a little different.  Thankfully our Burton Firefighters are super flexible and helpful so our Kindergartners still got to learn all about fire safety and were still even able to tour a fire engine.

What happens when you dip a dandelion (commonly known around here as “love flowers”) that have gone to white seed heads straight into water and pull it out? Some little scientists did that experiment in class the other day, and it led them to experimenting on their own in a puddle at recess. They tried yellow dandelions, other flowers, dipping them more than once…

Learning looked very different this morning without electricity. Here are a couple pictures of some of our students reading by lantern light. They also read “scary” stories and sang songs around a pretend campfire, learned about the discovery of electricity, and made real life connections with history and how things were different before electricity was discovered. We are all very thankful electricity was discovered! There was much celebration when it was restored....your very flexible teachers and staff, the most!

Last Wednesday, our Kindergartners learned about what living things need to survive and made their own terrariums. We are hoping to see some growth in the next couple weeks! Thank you to Longway Planetarium for helping out students learn these important science lessons!

They should arrive mid-week and will be delivered to Barhitte. They should be sent home with students. If you are expecting a tree and do not have a Barhitte student, an email will be sent to you when they arrive! Kamohr@bentleyschools.org Proud to be a teacher at Bentley!!
