Career Day!

Research has shown that the earlier a child is exposed to career education, the more likely they are to make sound education and career decisions. The students are excited about career day tomorrow! Our class will get to learn about the careers of software engineer, an author, a chef, and a forensic artist. It's going to be an exciting day!

Oobleck Experiment

Oobleck Experiment:  In this experiment, students made a substance similar to quicksand, but much more fun!  Oobleck is actually a non-newtonian fluid. That is, it acts like a liquid when being poured,

but like a solid when a force is acting on it. You can grab it and then it will ooze out of your hands.

Fine Arts Night 6:00pm- 8:00pm

We will have lots of great arts related activities to participate in and most importantly see the wonderful world of Wayne Thiebaud inspired sweet treats that we created for our art fundraiser!  Every student, including half-day kindergarten, that was here in December and January will have their artwork framed and hung for all to enjoy.  If you wish to purchase your students framed artwork that night, it’s your lucky day!  Any proceeds from the fundraiser will help our art department bloom and grow.  Thank you for supporting the arts!!!  More detailed information on Paechjar and the attached email.


Digital Den Open House: March 7, 3pm-5pm. If you're coming to browse at the Scholastic Book Fair, stop in the computer lab, now named the Digital Den, to see and explore if you'd like, some of our newest robotics devices. If your child has come home talking about using ozobots or spheros, and you don't know what they are, this is a great opportunity to see them. I hope you stop by!

Iditarod

This week our class has been reading stories, practicing comprehension skills, writing, researching, and learning about the Iditarod.  The Iditarod is a dog sled race that takes place every March in Alaska. It is sometimes called the "Last Great Race." Although the race is over 1150 miles long, the race is officially 1,049 miles, since Alaska is the 49th state in the USA . The Iditarod trail goes from Anchorage to Nome.  Each student selected a musher and a team of dogs in which they will track throughout the Iditarod.  This week the students did research and wrote a biography on their musher.   The official Iditarod starts in Anchorage, Alaska on the first Saturday of March each year. The 2017 race gets underway at 10 a.m., on Saturday, March 4.  We will be tracking the mushers in school throughout the Iditarod and mapping their location.  If students would like to check where their musher is, you can go to the website http://iditarod.com or directly to the musher page http://iditarod.com/race/2017/mushers. The students are really excited and looking forward to following their mushers progress!!!
