Scholastic Book Fair

Preview Day - Tuesday, December 1 at 2:30

Purchase Day - Thursday,  December 3rd at 8:30

Support our school by purchasing a book or two or ten.  :)  

Students will have an opportunity to preview the books before they bring money to purchase.  

Expo is THIS Wednesday!

4th grade will be presenting from 4:30 to 5:30.  Dress is “business casual.”

We’ve started a new PBL Unit and we’re having a lot of fun.  

Have you checked us out on Twitter?  Our unit is called Energy Collisions and it’s a fantastic exploration into types of energy and problem solving.  Our new driving question is:  How can we create a transportation system that will transfer a passenger safely? The students will get to create a safety restraint system while learning about specific forces.
