Just like that. How did nine weeks go by already? We have been extraordinarily busy,  that’s how! Here is the highlight reel:

We have investigated matter by torturing Jell-O.  Oh, how can one torture Jell-o? We poked it, cut it, smelled it, mashed it, tried to shake it and dump it out of the container and much to my mortification, licked it off of our (by our, I mean they… and I tried to warn them of the dangers of licking one’s fingers in an elementary school, eeeewww)  fingers. Then we froze it and tried to do all the things we did to it when it was not frozen including…sigh…licking our fingers. Then we melted it with just the heat energy in the air.  The result was shocking!  These little scientists made some amazing observations.

We were in the paper! Twice!

We traveled the state of Georgia…in the hallway and we have broken our own personal best records time and time again!

Whew…we needed Fall Break!

Hang on tight…the pumpkins are coming!
