Growing Crystals!

Your young people will probably come home excited about today's crystal-growing lab. These are very fragile, temporary crystals that won't make it home. That said.... here is the recipe, for those who wish to grow more!

• 2 tbs. salt (not iodized)
• 2 tbs. water
• 2 tbs. Mrs. Stewart's Bluing- I found this locally on the laundry aisle at Piggly Wiggly
• 1/2 tbs. ammonia

The kids know what to do to make their "trees"!

Rock and Mineral News Project:
A new science project was assigned and gone over in class today. I personally hand wrote the name of the rock and mineral that your child was assigned on this week's agenda page. This project is due in two weeks, on Wednesday the 19th of January. Please look over it and hit me with any questions this week. This is a research project and will entail some library time, or some time on the internet at home. **Don't forget to keep a list of ALL sources used!

Kennedy Space Center:
If you haven't already, please see yesterday's post for more trip details!

Thanks:
to Kim Murray for providing the salt for today's lab!

Tutoring:
I will stay after school tomorrow from 2:45-3:15 to work with anyone that would like to stay after and work on algebraic equations. Just e-me and let me know if your child is staying. You can pick him/her up in my classroom at 3:15.
