Making Paper!

We have been talking about the environment and how we can help take care of the planet.  We learned that trees are cut down to make paper and other things like furniture.  We also learned that some paper is made from old paper. We decided to try and make our own paper out of old shredded paper.  We used a blender and water to mash up the paper and make pulp.  The pulp was then spread on a screen to form paper.  We had to let it dry overnight.  

Community Helpers!

Today we talked about helpers that help us in the Community.  We brainstormed and came up with a lot of ideas.  Then we viewed a slideshow presentation of helpers. Below are a few examples:

We ended with a visit from a real police officer.  Constable Harris came to talk to our class and then we got to go and see the police car he drives! 

We got to look at real handcuffs!
