Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school letters have recently been sent out. The letter has a list of items that would be helpful for you to buy before the first day of school. Here's a reminder of what you need.

* 3-4 single subject notebooks

* 3-4 pocket folders

* lots of pencils

* an inexpensive, basic calculator

* crayons, markers, colored pencils

* scissors

* glue or gluesticks

* 2 large boxes of kleenex

* a small pencil sharpener with a lid

* a ruler - not a "bendy" one

* a cheery smile and positive attitude!

I look forward to meeting all of you at Back to School conferences on the first day of school. You will be receiving your scheduled time from the office.

Fruit and Veggie Derby

The Fruit and Veggie Derby was a fun way to end our nutrition unit. The pictures show close-ups of the vehicles that were raced. There was one clear winner (the banana/orange vehicle). The other three tied for second place. Each of the other three went the same distance on the second run. The students did a great job of working together in teams to create and race their vehicle.
