The enormous crocodile wants to eat the biggest kids!
So if the students compare 12 and 19, the crocodile would want to eat the 19, so he would face towards it, 12 < 19!

In other news, Ms. Allison and myself have started to make the G1 non fiction library in the common area! Expect to see more non fiction books come home as readers!
Science.
- If you push air into an empty syringe, it makes the plunger go up.
- If you try to push air into both syringes at the same time, it won't go in!
- If you push too much air into the syringe, the plunger pops off!
We then tied this learning to air pressure, so when air is forced into a small container, it will try to escape. So the students learned that air can be compressed and this can be used move things.
The next lesson was a magic show answering the question How can water be used to show air takes up space! But it's not magic, it's science! Unfortunately the students were unable to do it themselves in the classroom due to covid rules (lots of crowding and touching) I did demonstrate it to them and I have asked them to show you at home! They two magic tricks they learned were:
- The dry tissue.
- The levitating ball.
All they need is a small container (like a plastic vial), a sink full of water and a small ball that can float. Have fun and remember to ask them why it seems like magic and what is really happening!
