End of Month Luncheon

~On Thursday September 28, we will be having our monthly End of Month Luncheon!  All children who meet their AR goal of 4 books, have at least a B in citizenship, and have taken care of their academic business at school are invited with a parent to a pizza buffet luncheon. Lunch will be provided!  September and November luncheon, parents are invited!  October and December are just for students.  If your child has handled his or her business, an invitation will come home 3-4 days in advance!  Our first luncheon will be on the 28th of September!  Most luncheons will be on Thursdays due to no resource on that day!  Hopefully, we will see you in 4 weeks!  Here are some pictures from Luncheons past!

Star Students

~Congratulations to STAR Students Aralyn, Capri, and John!  They worked hard all week and earned the right to be called STARS!!!!!

Fun in Science

 We are conducting observations of fruit in class!  We are trying to figure out the best place in class to keep a piece of fruit (control) fresh.  Each student chose a different place in the class (independent variable) to store his or her fruit.  Depending on the spot, we are already seeing minor changes in our control subjects (apple). We are collecting data over the week to compare our dependent variables (outcomes)..... Hopefully, our class will not stink of rotten fruit on Monday!

Day One

Day Two

Accelerated Reader

Eclipse

 ~We had an interesting time trying to see the eclipse!  We made a hypothesis that the sky would get darker.  Our hypothesis was wrong based on observation! At the last minute, the eclipse was visible!  Thanks to Mrs. Manabat for the glasses!
