From the Science Lab of Mrs. Agee
We've learned about the three types of rock - igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. We've also studied the changes rocks go through during the rock cycle. Check out these cool rock specimens our students brought!

From the Historical Perspective of Ms. Deal
I am still collecting shoe boxes for our next unit. If you have any lying around at home, or you happen to buy a new pair of shoes in the near future, send the boxes my way! Thank you!
From the Writing Desk of Mrs. Garbaccio
Students are becoming familiar with their new log-in process to access their writing pieces. Students enjoyed rewriting their own fairy tales, so I postponed the following writing prompt to this week.
What is something you want to learn to do?
Explain what you would like to learn and why.
If there is Internet access at home, students can access their documents and are welcome to work on assignments. We utilize the color-coding method to organize students' paragraphs. Students like to call it the colorful Hamburger method.
