Ms. Garcia’s Class

What an exciting week!  After a long 3 day weekend, the class was treated to a movie in the Dome Theater.  The Dome Theater was brought to Pennoyer by the PTC.  The students truly enjoyed the experience of watching a movie about the solar system and Milky Way.

In Science, we are finishing our chapter about fossils by discussing fossil fuels.  The students were coal miners in the class searching for coal (pennies) to see how much they could find.  The students learned that if we continue to mine coal, it will eventually disappear.  We discussed the importance of preserving the world’s fossil fuels as well as alternate ways to get energy.
