Train to Somewhere, Ryan's Well and Science

Today we read the story 'Train to Somewhere' by Eve Bunting.  The story is based on true events in the late 1800s with orphan trains.  Marianne is headed West with other children on the Orphan Train hoping to find her mother. We asked questions before, during and after the story, posting them to padlet.  Interestingly...there is no real place called Somewhere! Eve Bunting used her imagination to come up with the final stop on the orphan train.

In Science, we consolidated our absorb/repel experiments from yesterday.  Here is what we discovered!

We are continuing to raise money for Ryan;s Well.  Look at all the money we have collected so far!  Way to go and a big thank you! Ryan will be coming to visit St. Cecilia after the March Break.  Our school is trying to build a well for his foundation.  I know we can do it!
