Mark your Calendars: September 27th - Our first field trip to The Police Interpretive Center

What did we learn today?
Fingerprints are challenging to trace because there are so many ridges (lines) and some started but seemed to have no ending. All finger prints are unique!

How did we show what we learned?
Parent volunteers enlarged our fingerprints (Thanks to Ishan's mom and Cohen's mom) so we could write our All About Me paragraphs over top of our ridges.

What do we need to learn next?
Finish writing our paragraph, trace it with a sharpie, add shapes or designs.
