Welcome to the 2017-18 blog for the Bumblebees class!


We are very excited to be starting another year and the first seven days have been wonderful. Today we explored helicopters. Working with our buddies we created paper helicopters that fly. We learned about the forces of gravity, air resistance, thrust as we threw them into the air and wing design to make the rotors spin on their descent.

 It was also Bike Day and everyone had a great time riding bikes and trikes and scooters. We graphed all the things we brought from home and found that we had the most helmets and bikes with training wheels and  the least number of tricycles. Lots of vehicles powered by kids today.
