HAPPY ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS' DAY! Sarah Baden, Marla Finke, and Julie Hoffmeyer are the administrative assistants at DPS, and we are thankful for all that they do for our staff and students day in & day out. Thank you!
Today Jessica, from Little Blue Natural Resources District visited the afternoon preschool class. Her presentation was about trees and why they are good for the Earth. We learned that the General Sherman Tree is the world's largest tree, measured by volume. It stand 275 feet tall and is over 36 feet in diameter at the base. You can find the General Sherman Tree in Three Rivers, CA.
We recently completed a sink or float experiment. The students were given an egg and then had the opportunity to pick a small item to put in their egg. They had many items to choose from such as: a key, penny, rock, pom-pom, plastic button, etc. They put the egg in the water to see if it would sink or float. When they made the discovery that it would float, they were able to take their item out of the egg and hypothesize if the item would sink or float.
The 5th graders enjoyed a trip to the Edgerton Science Center today!
