14 School Days Left!

WOW! This year has flown by!!!

We have been very busy the past few weeks. We had a Taco Party for Cinco de Mayo, made special presents for our moms, and most recently went on a community trip to Orland Mall for lunch.

Here's some snapshots from our project on
April 29th: Making Recycled Paper

First we cut up paper from the recycling bin into small pieces.

Then we put the paper into the blender and added water and blended it up!

Here's what it looked like before we pressed it!

Once the mixture of paper and water was ready, everyone took some and pressed all the water out over a section of window screen.

Once we pressed out most of the water, we sprinkled a mix of wildflower seeds on it.  Now we can recycle our paper and use it to plant beautiful flowers!
