Mrs. Bunn's classes have been studying Forces in Science. They participated in investigations to learn about gravity and friction. Gravitational pull towards earth is the same on all objects. Heights affected distances marbles rolled and the amount of friction varied based on surfaces.









We will be celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Week beginning Tuesday, February 17th through Friday, February 20th.
A random act of kindness is a simple act which brightens someone’s day. Examples are giving to charities, offering to help a neighbor, picking up litter, etc.
Each day has a theme. Please help at home by encouraging kindness to others, the environment, and to ourselves.
Thank you for helping to spread kindness!
