Classdojo Reward-100% participation!
Thank you to all the families that have signed up for classdojo! It has been such a great tool for you to see pictures of your child in the classroom, receive private messages, and just a heads up of what homework you can expect to come home. Student's enjoyed their incentive as well, so we can count it as a win win for everyone!
Mars Channel
Students are really taking on the job as a scientist as we investigate how channels form from both water and lava in order to prove our claim about what we have seen on pictures taken on Mars. In this picture student are taking a look at how channels on Earth can form by water.
September 11th, we never forget!
This day we paid our respect for the lives lost on the horrific day. Students gathered around the flag pole to say the pledge together as it lowered to half staff. The silence after was powerful and something we will never forget.
