Newtons of Force / Valentine’s Day / Yukon Quest







This week we did some specific measuring of force in Newtons and learned about the difference between mass and weight.  It was fun to see the kids doing so well working with our tools and collecting data.
Valentine’s Day is coming up!  The kids can bring in cards for each other, we will have the party on the afternoon of the 14th. 
We are all excited to follow the Yukon Quest Dog Sled Race this coming week.  It will help us prepare to lead the school in our IditaRead Program again this year at Quincy during March is Reading Month.  Our Quincy Ikidarod is coming up soon!
Our Benefit Hockey Game is this Sat. (Feb. 4th).  We would love to see you!  You can read more about Shannon Shamback and her struggle at this link.
