Fantastic Fourteen Live Up to Their Name!

The Fantastic Fourteen have been focusing on service with our buddies in Betsy's class. Over the last three weeks we have made cards and Rice Crispie treats for staff at two non-profit organizations. Two weeks ago we dropped off cards and treats for the hard workers at Hollins Fire Station. Last week we sent cards to the staff of the Rescue Mission and made treats for some mom's who are residents. If you know some unsung heroes who need a thank you let us know and we'll put them on our list.

In math we continue to work on time. Last week we took advantage of the gorgeous weather and made sundials outside.

In science we are working on the weather. Lena used ice and water to demonstrate weather fronts and Katie used water and cups to demonstrate air pressure and atmosphere.

Barter Day is this Thursday! We have not received very many items to be bartered. Children can use toys, school supplies, books, clothes. Whatever they think is valuable.

The school has raised $300 for the Pennies for Peace organization. Please keep your donations coming.

The school store has ordered NEW items again. Students decided to spend some and save some when deciding what to do with our bake sale and store profits. We are working on marketing ideas to drum up more business.

Don't forget Monday is a day that your child can bring in a book to share with the class. Students are happy to show off classwork too, so don't feel like a book has to be brought. This Monday I had a few moans of, "Oh, I forgot my book from home!" I promised to post a note on the blog as a reminder.
