Circulation lesson 🤣 with our Mystery Reader
In 4/5/6, we made our own shadow clocks today and tested them out inside with a flashlight to create long shadows and shorter ones too! We practiced making different times in the day and night, and made observations about where the sun was located in the sky. The sun peeked out long enough for us to test them outside too!
4/5/6 enjoyed their PBiS celebration which included crafting, board games, and chain reaction machine building! ❤️ Great job, bears! 🐻
