Hello! Welcome to Mr. Finn’s class.  This semester has been quite an interesting one and, as a result, we focused heavily on literacy and science.  Every week we introduced different sight words because we wanted to get the kids on the right track towards reading.  Along with this, we finished off with some cool science experiments.

Each kid has conducted his or her own science experiment:

Johann completed the skittle circle experiment.
Emma completed the skittle circle experiment.
Olivia completed the color rain experiment.
Vivienne completed the color rain experiment.
Yolin conducted the Milk/Soap/Food coloring experiment.
Stephy conducted the Milk/Soap/Food coloring experiment.
Rain conducted the Milk/Soap/Food coloring experiment.
Harry completed the bouncy egg experiment.
Shaun completed the bouncy egg experiment.
Jeremy conducted the lava experiment.
Jeffery conducted the lava experiment.

The kids made word sliders shown below:
