STAR Tests and Great Lakes Hydrosphere





It was a good week back in the groove.  We will be taking STAR reading tests most Friday’s this term.  NOTE:  These scores do go up and down a bit, but encourage the kids to shoot for their personal best on Friday mornings.  We are setting a goal each week to improve.  The test results come home Friday or Monday.
This week we finished up our mini unit on the Great Lakes Hydrosphere in science and will be moving on to Force and Motion next week.  It’s a fun one!
Still  looking for student volunteers or to attend our charity hockey game and help with a few tasks, Chuck a Pucks, and making lots of noise!  Email me if you’re interested or plan on attending (see attached poster).

2018 Welcome Back! Fun Times Ahead!






I hope everyone enjoyed the break, and is as fired up as I am to be back in action full time! 

I’m looking forward to all of the fun learning and experiences we have planned for the winter months.  This will culminate with the traditional Quincy Ikidarod in late February!  We will be building sleds here and racing them here at school.  View the Quincy Ikidarod video from a few years back to get an idea of what it’s all about .  Exciting times ahead!
