Field Trip

We are going on our next field trip! We will be going to the Paper Discovery Center in Appleton. The form will be sent home on Monday 2/28. The field trip will be the morning of our half day, 3/25. It will be similar to our last field trip where I have 4 tickets provided for chaperones, but all are welcomed! You might have to pay the adult admission ticket price if I get more than 4 interested.

Leader in Me

For the month of March we will move to learning about Habit 6: Synergize. This habit is about a group working together towards a common goal. Every leader has their own strengths they bring to a group, it's important to highlight those strengths while working together! 

Here is a family resource that you could read over and even complete some activities as a family!

3/3-3/4

I wanted you to be aware that I will be out this week on Thursday and Friday using my personal days, in case I am not able to get back to you right away with emails. If there is anything pressing you can call the school and they will pass along the information to the substitute. Thanks!

Researcher's Workshop:

Last week was FILLED with experiments, all having to do with different types of materials and their properties. We tested out materials that had insulating properties that allowed us to hold on to a hot water cup. We also used hot water to test the melting point of different types of candy: chocolate, gummy bears, and hard candy. All experiments were giving me a run for my money, making sure everyone was very careful with the hot water (and not eating melted gummy bears). But of course, the students did great! Here are a few photos I captured:
