Our class toured the Science
Fair held in the Lulu Ross
School, April 8 and A. We en-
joyed seeing the many exhibits
displayed by the different class
es and individuals. Our exhibit
was about water evaporation. In
class we learned that water will
go into the air as some
thing dries. We washed clothes
and this is what happened. We
put water In a glass. We could
see each day that some water
had evaporated. When we wash
the board, the water goes into
the air. We liked doing these
experiments.
AS we look back through the
year, we found that we had
learned how to do many things
we did not know when we started
to school. One Of these is
writing our own stories. We
wrote about our pets and things
we liked to do. Here are our
stories.
