We are learning about energy in our Science unit. Today, 4th grade conducted an experiment where they were able to observe how potential energy (an object sitting still) can quickly turn into a burst of kinetic energy (movement) when pressure is built up inside a small tube. We had so much fun watching our rockets fly high!
ATS The Bridge presented Timbi Talks to students today. Timbi is the drug prevention program being used at Calhoun.
Reminder: Health screening permission forms are due tomorrow. Please fill the form out completely and return to your child's teacher.

Thank you to Jared Waldrop from ATS The Bridge for talking to Calhoun students today about the dangers of drug use/abuse and the importance of making good choices.

Chemistry fun in Mrs. Keylon's Science Class
First Grade is learning that tools help us do work, make our lives easier, and allow us to create magnificent things! We are also learning that initiative, collaboration, perseverance, and responsibility help us learn and do our work! We have been planning and working to make new things that our classroom needs! One group decided to make the C and K Rules posters to help them remember the rules when they are reading! Another group decided to Make a Number Resource because we are having trouble writing our numbers the proper way. We also needed to create a space for our Addition Expression Wall to go with Math. They enjoyed putting magnets on the back of cards and finding a space for our wall! The last group used the Birthday Board from last year's group- and they created cupcakes for each student to create their own birthday cupcake to display in our class! All of the students did an amazing job! I will be using these for many years to come!
