The Scientists in Room 8

The Science Fair has come and gone...
Abby, Vanessa, Ashley, Max, Kaia, and Summer all entered and received either 2nd or 3rd place in the school science fair.
Shelby and Danny had an electric pickle. It was a definite HIT in room 8 when they demonstrated for us how it worked. We had the lights out, a shining pickle, and then a smoking pickle...at which point I immediately pulled the plug and that was the end of that!

Some of the projects set up around Room 8.

I think... I hope ... we all learned a lot about the scientific process. Purpose, hypothesis, procedures, results, conclusions...

Our budding scientists of Room 8!

The Sweetheart Valentines of Room 8

Meet Grandma Dolores... she was one of the Valentines of Room 8...You can tell by her big smile that she's happy to be here!This is Jacob. He's the 'new guy' that just moved into Room 8 ... all the way from Arizona!
Austin put on his big smile to show he was excited to get all his valentines.We needed something to put our valentines in...so we made bags.Ashley was trying to find everyone's bag so she could put their valentine inside.Ashley was still smiling after depositing all her valentines into the correct bag.

Well, well, well... who have we here? Another Room 8er, a bit older than the average 4th grader. This is Debbie. Do you recognize those eyes?
This is Debbie's Valentine... commonly known as Kenny, or "Dad" if you're Ashley.
Orion... he certainly has a smile...
Summer's eyes don't match her smile! Oh gee whiz... here's Kacey. He's smiling, but not with our big smile. Nope, not this guy, none of that for our Kacey. No sirree!
It's OK, Kacey, Shelby will smile for you.
We just love Mrs. T. She comes in Room 8 for ExCEL. Here's your blogging teacher... Photography by Austin!

Hi Riley! I can tell by your eyes that you have a big smile on your face!Brittany M., isn't necessarily a 'former Room 8er'... we love it when she comes and hangs out in our classroom!I think Moriah was disappointed that Valentine's Day wasn't also National Hugging Day.
Now hold on... who is this? Mr C? Abby is taking all this smiling pretty seriously!
Happy Valentine's Day to you, Vanessa!
"Do I have to?" asked Danny. I snapped his picture before I answered.
Now Kaia is one-happy-Valentiner. She is smiling with her entire face!Nathan is dreaming about all that chocolate in his Valentine's bag.
Brittany was turning cartwheels...and I snapped this picture as she was coming around. (Just kidding!)
Hey Kobe, nice rose!Spegi is a natural with that smile!

Oh Wasey, she's smiling because she'll be able to make all kinds of jewelry while she's off for President's Week.Shane's not too sure about all this.Wesley's smile reminds me of Kaia's. His whole face is smiling.Ahhh, we can't forget Kendra!
Hearts were overflowing in Room 8...
Hearts on napkins...
Heart-shaped cookies...
Hearts on cupcakes...
Oh yeah, and we had Oreos!

Room 8 definitely enjoyed celebrating Valentine's Day.

Thank you to all the parents who brought treats for the sweethearts of Room 8!
