June 14/24

Div, 13 Scientists have continued to be inspiring! We've had some very interesting experiments... Savannah made an electromagnetic motor (she made a pokemon card spin),  Cai, Gavin, Addison, Easton, Juel and Aneka all demonstrated different chemical reactions (oobleck, elephant toothpaste, lemon/baking soda, volcano eruption, Mentos and Coke plus dancing raisins). Massimo showed us how magnets can even work through glass and water, how they can clean the ocean floor.  Kian made a tornado with two large pop bottles.  

Happy Father's Day to all you special dads out there.  Your children were all very excited and worked hard on your special cards.  

POETRY BOOKS came home on Thursday and can stay home. We will also no longer be taking books home each day, however if your child is in the middle of a chapter book they are welcome to keep it until it is finished.  Mystery bags will be collected on Tuesday as well as any other book bag books.           Please check your houses for any classroom books that didn't make their way back to school. Every year I seem to get books from families that they've found under the couch, behind a bed etc.  Thanks for your help restoring my library!

Parent Volunteers: If anyone is able to take home a bin or two of manipulative to wash that would be very appreciated.  Please email me.  Thanks so much, I always try to wash every bin of building and math objects at the end of the year and this is a huge job.  This year end has come up so quickly I meant to send this out earlier.  

It sad and hard to believe we only have one full week of school left!
