Spelling Bee!
Interested in some of the words students were given during the spelling bee? Here is a small sample: prudence, copious, heirloom, perishable, vagrancy, codger, dinghy, brevity, causative, bafflement, oriole, inaudible, associate.
STEM Fair
We also need to thank Cindy Norman for teaching students about beekeeping, the Flat Rock Playhouse for letting us talk with Benjamin Franklin, The Science House, Bricks 4 Kidz, and Hands On! for providing activities for our students. I know I am already looking to next year's STEM Fair!
Storyworks and a videoclip of Rick DuFour
Also, many of you have already seen this Rick DuFour video either as a member of SIT or as a PLC leader. If you haven't watched it before, please do because it's short but gets to heart of a PLC and if you have seen it, feel free to watch again!
Fletcher Birthdays!
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Fletcher Fox Family Members! Happy birthday to you!
