🧲Magnetic Science in Action! 🧲 Mrs. H. Fontenot’s third graders grabbed their magnets today and went on a mission. Students loved making predictions, testing their ideas, and learning through hands-on exploration. There’s nothing better than seeing science come to life in the classroom!

Our Five Senses Adventure! Mrs. Emily's Pre-K friends have been busy learning all about their five senses! We had so much fun exploring the world around us and learning how our senses help us discover new things. 👂 Hearing: We listened to different sounds and used our ears to guess what we heard! 👀 Sight: We took a little walk to the cafeteria and used our eyes to look for and identify things along the way. ✋ Touch: We explored different textures and created a fun texture collage by pasting items that felt different—smooth, rough, soft, bumpy, and more! 👃 Smell: We used our noses to smell different scents, including coffee, perfume, garlic, and ranch. Then we showed how we felt about each smell by coloring our faces red, yellow, or green! Some smells were definitely favorites… and some were not! What a fun way to learn, explore, and use our senses! Our little learners did such a great job being curious and sharing what they discovered! 🌟 Learning is always more fun when we can see it, hear it, touch it, and smell it! 💛
