candy melting experiments!

We sure do love science!
Our latest problem is that our friend went to "Camp way too hot!" And ran out of candy on day two!! We want to send more, but don't want it to melt on the way. We know chocolate will definitely melt. So we tested Swedish Fish, Starburst and Gummies to see which wouldn't melt. And the winner is...

About Valentines Day

Hi Families, February 9, 2017

I just wanted to send home a quick note about Valentine’s Day.  Mrs. Dimick and I ARE planning to do a small celebration on Tuesday, February 14, 2017.  We ask that if your child decides to bring in cards, that they bring in one for EVERY student.  I don’t see this being a problem in second grade and in our very kind class, but just keep this in mind.  If they do not want to write one for everyone, they may not pass out any.  Also, this is totally optional.  Do not feel that your child has to participate.  We will make the mailboxes at school, so please don’t worry about that.  Lastly, if you would like to send in a treat (please think healthy so I don’t have children eating 20 cupcakes and sweets :), or a drink please let me know via email ASAP so we can plan accordingly. abissonnette@wsesu.org

Some healthy snack ideas:

Fruit and Vegetable Bouquet Use heart and floral-shaped cookie cutters to cut fresh fruits and vegetables such as melon and bell peppers. Fill green skewers with cut fruits and vegetables and arrange into a bouquet. Tie together with red and pink ribbons. Students may enjoy with low-fat yogurt, hummus, salsa or low-fat ranch!
Heart Sandwiches Have children create healthy sandwiches using whole grain bread and strawberry fruit spread. Use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out mini heart sandwiches.

Berry Yogurt Looking for a healthy and simple snack? Have students add fresh or dried strawberries, blackberries or raspberries to low-fat strawberry yogurt.
