Blood Soup

Today we made blood soup! We discussed what is in our blood and what the different things in our blood do. We used Marshmallows for white blood cells (only two though, because we are healthy!), red hots for red blood cells, rice for platelets, and corn oil for plasma! The students loved how "gross" it was!


*red blood cells: which carry oxygen throughout the body
*white blood cells: which fight infections
*platelets: which are cells that help you stop bleeding if you get a cut
*plasma: a yellowish liquid that carries nutrients, hormones, and proteins throughout the body

Just a Few Reminders!

Please remember:

Green Week is all next week!

Monday is Spring School Picture Day. If you would like a specific pose, please complete the form sent home earlier this week and return it to school.

Wednesday is National Secretaries Day! Please help us thank Mrs. Carriker by stopping in and saying thank-you, making her a card, or bringing her a treat! She does so much for our school and we are SO SO lucky to have her!

Friday: NO SCHOOL! Enjoy the weather!

Parent Survey

On Tuesday a survey will go home asking parents to assess Harrison Elementary. As a CCI school, we are constantly looking for ways to improve. Students who return the survey to school will receive a Happy Husky! Please keep your eye out for this survey! We look forward to hearing your thoughts!!! Thank you!!!!

I wish everyone a safe and "hoppy" holiday!! I hope the Easter Bunny brings you lots of treats!!!! :-)
