September started with safety! The students had to show they knew what to do in the science lab or classroom if there was a fire, tornado, shelter-in-place, if glass broke, if someone got a chemical in his or her eye, or if someone got hurt.

We then spent time going over the scientific method-the method all scientists use to answer questions. Most of the students did well and proved it in lab. We also learned about the tools that life scientists used. Then we pulled some of them out and practiced until we knew how to use them as well.

We started our magazine sale and had several people got Lucky Ducks. There were ducks all over the school!

We ended September with a Farewell to Summer picnic. Everyone had a wonderful day.
