Our Super Star... Shelby!

It was Shelby's week to shine at school! 
She read "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" to the class! Shelby loves Dr. Seuss- she dressed up with a friend as Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Halloween!

A special treat, Shelby's dad came in to visit our class on Friday, bringing along Shelby's grandparents who were visiting from Florida! What a wonderful surprise!

Shelby showed us how refraction works during her science experiment! She put a straw into a plastic cup of water and we noticed that the straw appeared to bend in the glass. The light travels at different speeds through air and water, which is why the straw looks that way. We poured some oil in the water to see the straw bend twice! The kids were very eager to go home and test out refraction on their own with all kinds of liquids in their houses! Shelby had a wonderful star week at school. How fortunate we are to have such a caring, helpful, eager, sunshiny, and bright girl in our class!
