Weatherbee PTO will be selling Smencils (smelly pencils) for $1.00 each, this week. Student's are welcome to purchase them from 8:30 - 9:00am in room 106. Sales end at 9:00am Thursday morning.

On Monday, December 12th through Wednesday, December 14th, Weatherbee 3rd graders went to the Challenger Learning Center for an important space mission! This immersive experience was all possible because Mrs. Adams, a 3rd grade teacher had earned a grant from the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation. She then organized transportation and got a grant through the Weatherbee PTO! We are grateful to both organizations for making this happen.

Students participated in a simulated space shuttle adventure. They're learned about geology , did labs to determine which rocks were magnetic, weighed and measured rocks. Additionally, did a series of tests to determine how much to feed the mice, tried navigating, fitness training, and practiced communicating and completing tasks during a simulation! As third graders reflected they shared their favorite moments they shared:

• Evan said, "I liked the robotic arm!"
• Hope shared, "I liked the fact that an astronaut has to exercise for two hours."
• Kolton said, " My favorite part was the air chamber."
• Regan shared, "I learned that you can grow 3 inches in space."
• "I learned I want to be an astronaut." Aiden

Thank you to the Challenger Learning Center of Maine for this fantastic experience!

Please be sure to send your student with winter gear (coats, boots, snow pants, hats and mittens) each day. This ensures that your student can fully participate in recess and PE activities comfortably. If you should need any resources, please let us know at wboffice@rsu22.us.
