Sno-Kones, Lap Tops and Science Fair!

Hopefully you have assisted or reviewed Science Fair materials, procedures, and variables (tonight) with your student! We are anticipating sending purchased backboards home on Friday. We will also give each student labels for their backboards.

Today was laptop day in Room 138~ We explored eduplace.com websites for Reading and Social Studies today. These are great sites that are students can also access at home.

They can work with story words and concepts, build on ideas, or research people in our Social Studies book.

And finally... to celebrate our 100% five day participation in Spirit Week we had our Sno-Kone party today! Our class rocked it out- Two years in a row we have had 100% classroom participation from our students and parents! We appreciate ALL your help with that! It is a really fun way that leads into our 4th 9 weeks!
