We finished off National Lutheran Schools Week this morning and our room was filled with superheroes.  There were times when I had a hard time keeping a straight face while giving instructions.  Hats off to the 6th graders for some very original, humorous outfits. 

Since today was an early release, it was also a "wacky science" day.  In 6th grade we learned about colloids.  Also, we experienced the difference a little NaCl can make when added to crushed ice.  In addition, we created one of our favorite colloids--ice cream!  Why not ask your student to share the science behind what we were doing this morning.  Most of our results were delicious.  :)
