 * Raleigh Records for March 17th:**

On March 17th,Kate and Erin took pictures during outside recess. Most people in the grade wore green for St. Patrick's Day. Since it was Wednesday, we had pizza for lunch! :) For the past week or so we've been studying an evaporation lab where we put 150 ml. of water in a beaker and set it on the window sill to observe. Everyone in the class guessed a date when all of the water would be evaporated. Some water is still there.
