I hope lots of you turned out for Skate Night last Friday. I am sorry I missed it. I have been feeling pretty poorly and I am trying to fight off the yuck that is going around. We have tons of kids at the school sick! I am having the class wash their hands alot, encouraging them to dring lots of water (send those water bottles) and we are using Lysol Disinfecting Wipes at the end of each day. I hope it helps!
Please consider donating to our Starfest Class Basket. We need lots of you to send in some $$ to help us buy the things needed to make it a success. I was sharing with the other staff what our class was doing and they were all ready to start bidding. Even a donation of $10 would help. Thank you in advance!

WHAT WE'VE BEEN LEARNING
Language Art/Social Studies-We read a nonfiction story about Penguins. The kids are doing research over a particular type of penguin and will be making their penguins to scale. We are also still working on biographies and Changes Over Time. The kids are now in groups and will begin researching a specific area (transportation, technology, recreation, communication, medical and space) along with an influential person in that area. our porjects will be on display at open house.
Science-We are learning about natural resources, land changes and will move into space soon.
