This week in science the students will investigate: What are the parts of a controlled experiment? A funny book of failed experiments, a monster in charge of the laboratory over spring break, and a guidebook from Plaid Pete, help students to figure out the parts and have some fun along the way.
Music
Our special part for the concert is rocking and rolling! Some classes are working on instruments and some are creating a dance. These parts can be complex and they're really coming together now! It's so exciting and rewarding for the kids to see how their hard work and effort pay off. Make sure you've marked the concert date on your calendar!
