What a Busy Week!

Wow!  I can't believe all the things we have been doing this week!  On Monday, we made ice cream in a bag and observed how salt forces ice to freeze at a lower temperature.  Thursday was a great day to visit Theo's Chocolate in Seattle.  We observed how a cocao bean goes from bean to chocolate bar.  It was a very tasty trip :)  The kids loved sampling all sorts of chocolate, and enjoyed a sunny afternoon on the Burke Gilman trail for lunch.  This week we started on a culminating project what we have learned about being a good citizen in our community at Seabury and Tacoma.  We will invite you all to see the final product! On Friday, the entire school met in our classroom and the Explorers room as we made cards for the residents of Frank Tobey Jones Retirement Center. Many of these residents do not have ways to go out and purchase holiday cards, so we made some beautiful ones for the residents to send to families and friends.  A few Sharks will join me with other Seabury students as we deliver them sometime in the next two weeks.
Below are some pictures of our many events that have taken place. Please note upcoming events for no school days and other field trips coming soon!



We have to wear hairnets for the tour!

Yummy!  Peppermint Caramel squares...
