Both the First and Second Grade classes have been learning about electricity and experimenting with circuits.  If your child has really taken a shine to this unit and wants to do experimenting outside of school, consider Snap Circuits. Snap Circuits are a safe,  fun and easy way to explore power and electricity. (All wires are contained within small plastic discs that snap together.)
