 PJs and Pancakes  - Wednesday, January 24th  

Pajama Day is Tomorrow, Jan. 24th.   The kids should just roll out of bed and come early to school to get a $5 pancake breakfast.  It starts at 6:30 a.m. It supports Astrocamp and is delicious!

Colonial Fair - The students will be starting to prepare for the Colonial Fair which will be on February 1st. Students have already chosen groups and a Colonial Job and they have started doing research for their Colonial Store Front.  They will be building Colonial Store Fronts to represent their Colonial Jobs.  Once the students decide what they are going to use to build their Colonial Stands, they will need to bring supplies in from home.  Students have created their Colonial Store Fronts from cardboard, wood, and much more.  We do allow them to bring hammers, nails, and spray paint to school for this project, if needed.  Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions. 

The Colonial Fair is February 1st.  Check the pictures on the Blog under the Colonial Fair Tab for examples of Colonial Store fronts that students built last year.

The children did a GREAT job on Wednesday with the Wax Museum.  I am very excited about upcoming projects to see what they produce!

We finished with the first volume of 5th grade math.  We supplemented with math worksheets, group projects and math journals.  You will note that we skipped pages.  Your child is welcome to complete as many pages as s/he wants.  The book is now yours.
