Fun Day

Hawaiian Day was a huge success today as the kids had a lot of fun. We started in the gym with games & activities they would play in Hawaii and then came to the room for some fruit, hawaiian nut mix, and juice. As we ate, we had a DVD playing which showed a helicopter ride over Hawaii. Oh, it was so beautiful. Thank you to the Harpers for sharing. Looks like you had a fun trip there.
Thank you to everyone for contributing to this with the $3 donation which is being put toward our field trip buses.
In Science today, I demonstrated Newton's 3rd Law. If your child can tell you what that law is and how I did the experiment, write it in the planner for free money.
We also talked about a project they will be doing at home called Operation Egg Drop. They are to package a raw egg in a package no larger than a shoe box and weigh no more than a pound. These will be dropped from the Bitterroot rooftop. They will need to think about and incorporate all 3 of Newton's laws. The information sheet on this will come home tomorrow. Start planning now.

No Spelling words this week due to the short week.
Early out on Wednesday-12:00 dismissal and then students are off Thurs.-Monday for the Easter break.
Wednesday we are celebrating Earth Day. Have your child wear green that day for free money.
Speaking of free money, we spent a lot of it on Friday at the auction. I think everyone came away happy with lots of stuff.
Have a great night.
