Expressing Our Voice

Fourth and fifth graders learned different ways to make their voices heard. We watched a video of the women’s marches on January 21st, and talked about how marches, protests, calling, and writing can make a statement. With the help of their big sisters, little sisters wrote letters to their congresswoman, Jackie Speier, about issues that mattered to them. ​For the science activity, each Little Sister and Big Sister pair created their own lava lamps. In a vial we put together water and cooking oil and observed how the two liquids reacted. We discussed density, polarity, and chemical reactions.
