Pollinators

What a treat for our kids last week!  We had a special guest speaker, Jennifer Jewell, come to our class with Mike Thiede to talk to our class about planting to attract pollinators.  We learned a ton!  After talking with kids, Mike Thiede helped our class get some Salvia plants started (hopefully).  We are trying to root them from cuttings.  

Geometry

This unit is all about thinking and reasoning.  Students will classify shapes by their properties and practice logic skills related to shape questions.  This unit is focused on developing spatial reasoning and critical reading and thinking skills.  

Swamped the Musical

Perfomed by Achieve 2nd and 3rd Grade.  Our performance date is set for May 12.  This will be the same date as Science Night.  We will perform at 5:30 and then Science Night will start at 6:30.  Be sure to put it on your calendar.  It is coming together is should be great!  The students work very hard each year to perform for their parents, families and friends.  Be sure to spread the word.  Let those grandparents know!

Cool Community Events

This Friday at the Library is cool looking Story Teller. 3pm.  Looks like music and story telling.  Should be good.
