Speaking of exciting…..our Biltmore trip is around the corner!  I can’t wait to see the looks on your faces!

In Science, we are starting to study a little bit of chemistry!  Chemistry???  In the 5th grade????  Why, of course!  Check out the Chem4Kids site.  It was created about 25 years too late to help Mrs. Ewing when she was first learning about chemistry!  lol!   But….oh well, at least it will help you!!!
