Zoo Animals
Hello from the Tritt Zoo!
Foster Parent Needed
Here's your chance, Parents...Is your child longing for another pet, but you just can't take on that responsibility now? TRY ANIMAL FOSTER PARENTING! The Science Lab has great animals which need foster parents for the long weekends and breaks. You can choose from a bird, bunnies, guinea pig, frog, gecko, or hamsters. All animals come with a portable habitat and all the supplies they need. All you do is supply the love! (and fresh water and occasional poop scooping).
Just come by the Science Lab, select your pet, sign up for the time period you want to be a parent, and Voila! You can enjoy the benifits of temporary pet ownership! The best part...you can return then after the break!
Please forward any questions about the program to Mary.Partow@cobbk12.org.

Check our sign up book for details.
Welcome Back
Tritt Elementary's Discovery Porthole's science lab is ready for a new year of exciting experiments!
All classes will begin with an experiment which will teach the Scientific method--Observing, making a hypothisis, conducting an experiment and drawing conclusions from the results.
Many activities we do during the course of our day use the Scientific method. You can have fun with this at home--Try this at dinner: Observe your meal. Ask a question, say, Will my food taste the same if I hold my nose closed while I eat it? Form a hypothisis, or best guess about the answer. Try your experiment, then talk about the results!

We hope that you have a safe and funfilled summer! We shall see you in August.
