Congratulations to Mr. Gehrke's 3rd grade class for taking home the blue ribbon at Science Fair this year. Our project was entitled, "May the Forces Be With You!" We learned about gravity, friction, push, pull, and magnetism. We even built a Kinex roller coaster! Thanks for bringing that in for us, Jermaine!! I am so proud of all that we have learned. If there are any 3rd graders from Mr. Gehrke's class that would like to respond to this post and tell the people what you've learned, that would be super!!
I decided to add a picture of one of our display boards being modeled by the one and only, Odessah!! This is only one of two presentation boards. The other one was taken by Joseff, who took the pictures off and decided to have other uses for it.
Hoyan, Bonne Anne, Happy New Year! However you choose to say it, 2009 is finally here!! It is hard to believe that the new year is here and we are ready to make resolutions and try to keep them. As we enter this new year, what do you hope to do, accomplish, or change in your life? Respond to this blog and share how you will make 2009 the best year yet! Will you exercise, eat less junk food, get your homework done everyday, watch less t.v.? Whatever you choose to do, we would love to hear it!!
With this new year brings history to our country with Barack Obama taking the presidency of the United States and the power of change coming our way. Just keep in mind, "Yes, we can!" Have a safe and prosperous 2009 and again, Hoyan!
If you were unable to stay up late enough on New Year's Eve, here is the ball drop from Times Square in New York. My friends Bill and Hillary Clinton were there to bring the ball down with everyone else! Way to go, soon to be Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton!!!
