Mystery Number Skype
Students completed a Mystery Number Skype with a class from Long Island, New York. We were interested to find out they live about 30 minutes from New York City and we live about 30 minutes from Indianapolis.
Snow on the Playground
As long as the temperature is above 20 degrees and it is safe for students, we will go outside for recess when there is snow on the ground. Students will only be allowed to walk and play in the snow if they are wearing snow boots and gloves. Thank you for your help with ensuring students stay safe and dry on snowy recess days!

Permission forms for our root beer float experiment were sent home today. Please return the permission form by next Thursday! Thank you!
