Parents and Students~

We are excited to have started our Science units this term. The students are having fun with all of the hands on experiments. Ask them about their DNA or how an electrical circuit works! We have also been learning about the Westward Expansion of the United States. They worked hard on "Video Diaries" that describe their travels across the United States.

Our students were also assigned a President's Report that is due on Thursday February 21st.  This report is in the form of a 'folder'.  Students were given a manila file folder and needed to print/draw a picture of their president on a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 white paper to glue on one side, and then fill out some personal information on their "research information" sheet that they would staple onto the other side.  Write in your own words 3-5 paragraphs on what you learned from the information sheet and staple on top of your "research information sheet".  Students can be creative and decorate these in any way that they want.

We also had our Patriotic Program on Friday February 15th, which was a great success! The students worked hard on their songs and were excited to share them with family and friends.

We are coming up to the end of the quarter and any missing/late work will need to be in no later than Thursday February 27th. This also applies to any work missing due to an absence - they will still receive full credit, however we need it in by the 27th.

We look forward to seeing you at Parent Teacher Conferences on March 6th and 7th.
