Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!  I am thankful to work at Shawnee Trail and have each and every one of your children in my class!

It has a been a busy week:

We conducted an experiment called Erupting Colors.  We learned that oil and water do not mix and the when you mix red and blue it makes purple.









One of our classmates was honored this morning with an award for his Reflections Art Contest project!  Congratulations!







We watched a great presentation from the Sci Tech Discovery Center located right here in Frisco.  For more information on this great place to go with your kids visit http://www.mindstretchingfun.org
