The Detective, the Scientist and the Pheasant

So.....the firsties were detectives and scientists on this gloomy Friday!
Detectives you say??????  Why yes, dear Watson!  Our first "Mystery Reader" was on the scene today!  Who was it?????
Their clues:
-I have lived in Cottonwood for 5 years.
-I like the color blue.
-You see almost everyday.
-I like football.  Go Steelers!
-I wear glasses or contacts.

Sci Fri...Apples!
Don't we all HATE it when we cut an apple and five seconds later it has turned brown?  The firsties put on their lab coats and goggles and went to work!  They tested ways to make their apple's flesh stay whiter longer.  Conclusions?????  Ask a firstie!

Question?  What can you put on an apple slice to keep it from turning brown?

 Apples were tested in water, lemon juice and Dr. Pepper.  (One slice was also tested by air only.)



Firstie Funny...
The student who had sharing bag today gave her clues.  The firsties used those clues to guess what was in the bag.  A little girl guessed: TURKEY!!!!  The little girl who had the sharing bag says, "Yes!  It is a turkey!   Otherwise known as a PHEASANT!!!!!!"  (I giggled out loud....couldn't help it.  Too. Cute!)

                                                       Said turkey/pheasant!

Another terrific week in the Nation!  We hope yours was as FABULOUS!  Stay happy Firstie Nation!
