Week of January 25th

Hey families!

Announcements: The school geography bee is today. The children who chose to participate in our class bee were Austin, Cadyn, Holly, Kaylee, Beau, Clay, Nick, and Riley. Clay came in first, with Beau and Nick in a tie for second! These three will represent us in the school bee this afternoon. I am very proud of all eight of them!
Next week we will be making space habitats! This is a very fun project!! The project will involve math, science, and teamwork!! I will post pictures! We need to borrow fans. If you have a portable fan (preferably round), could we borrow it? We need 6 on Thursday of next week.
Haiti donations are due Monday. Thanks to all who have donated already!
