From the very first day of school, the pencils, glue sticks, and colorful paper you helped provide have added a special touch of creativity and personalization to each student's interactive science notebook.\r\nWe jumped right in, using the materials to explore our current unit on Matter. Students have been recording observations, building models, and using their notebooks to organize their thinking. It's been amazing to see how much pride they take in their work—these notebooks have truly become a reflection of their curiosity, creativity, and growing scientific minds.\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching my young scientists use the new beakers to explore how heat affects the movement of water molecules. They were so engaged—discussing, comparing, and explaining their ideas to one another just like real scientists!\r\nNext, we'll continue using our notebooks to track the weather, analyze data, and make real-world connections. You should see all of the incredible learning captured on those pages! These resources have transformed our lessons from worksheets into hands-on, minds-on experiences.\r\nYour support made all of this possible.
