Today the students had a busy day. The day started off with exploration with their kindergarten buddies. Students were encouraged to explore the materials in the kindergarten room as well as Room 7 and 8. It is wonderful to observe the students interacting with one another, regardless of the age difference. The older students are helping the little guys complete entries in their 'Exploration Journals.'

Students were also busy completely their poppy art inspired by the work of a particular Mexican tribe. Each poppy will be placed on our class wreath and then laid to rest at the assembly on Friday morning at 11:00am. Please join us Friday if you are available.

We started our new focus in Science with a building challenge. Students were given a select amount of materials to use to construct a structure that one member of the team could pass through in one minute. Students were judged on creativity, teamwork and rate of success. The students will take on the second building challenge this afternoon.

Students will be participating in a Bat Presentation tomorrow at 10:30am. Please ask your son/daughter what they took away from the presentation.
