Notes Coming Home / Spring Break

There were some important notes that went home Thursday night.  1.  The note for “The Talk” coming in April.  2.  The note about choosing a music or non-music option for middle school next year.  3.  The camp t-shirt size letter for camp.   Please sign notes and return asap.

Next week we will be having our Monday celebration to end our IditaRead competition.  WOTV8 will be here to focus on our March is Reading Month.  Should be fun!  I hope everyone has a great Spring Break and you enjoy your time with family.

Four Generations and Sled Building / Ikidarod

Meet Michael, his Great Grandpa, Grandpa, and his Dad.  Michael was super excited to build his Ikidarod sled for our big race day!  Below is an excerpt from Michael's Mom.  

My husband's grandpa (Pep Nagelkirk) used to run the model shop at Herman Miller years ago, and Jason's dad (Dennis) was also highly involved with that and with working at Herman Miller for many years (still does). These pictures were taken in Pep's shop which he still has operating in his backyard. It was pretty special seeing 4 generations work together on this project. 

Thanks,

Kathy

Wow!  Four generations working on a school project together, now that's priceless!

IditaRead / Ikidarod and Finishing Force and Motion

This coming month for March is Reading Month we will be reading to race the other classrooms around the rotunda in the front of the school.  Sign those paws as they come home.  No reading log for the next couple of weeks as we try to read as much as possible to move our musher person to the next checkpoint!  Rescue the IditaRead Note from backpacks for more information.

Next week, we will continue with a few more force and motion lessons and then begin reviewing for the test. 

Remember  you are invited today to come and watch our Ikidarod at 1:30pm on the back playground.  Just check in with the office before you come out.  Should be fun!
