Our CHAMPs Assembly!
Not only is this Friday our class’ turn to present the CHAMPs assembly, it’s the first CHAMPs assembly this year! Yea, us! Students need to be at school between 7:45 and 7:55 tomorrow and go directly to the stage in the cafeteria when they get here. Parents are welcome to attend. Please wait at the back of the cafeteria for the assembly to start. When you are standing in the top section of the cafeteria, looking at the stage, please sit at the tables to your right. The left-hand section will be for the other 2nd grade classes.

Homemade Butter
Today we made butter the way the Pilgrims would have had to make it. If you would like to try it at home, here are the steps.
First you will need heavy whipping cream that is room temperature, 3 clean marbles, a container with a good lid and some salt. Fill the container about 1/3 full with the cream and add the marbles. Now shake the container for a few minutes until you can feel that the butter has formed. The longer you shake, the creamier your butter will be. Open the lid and add just enough salt for taste. We ate ours on saltine crackers. Yum!
Here is a graph of how we liked our homemade butter:
3 States of Matter Experiment
We did an experiment to observe the 3 states of matter. Here is how to do the experiment at home:
1. Put a piece of ice in a snack size baggie. This is the solid state of matter.
2. Take your baggie outside to watch the ice melt. This is the liquid state of matter.
3. When the ice is completely melted, drop in an Alka-Seltzer tablet. Now you can see the gas state of matter. (Note-Eventually your baggie will pop open if you don’t unzip it yourself, so watch out for this!)
