If it doesn't take you directly to the page, follow these steps:

Writing

We took advantage of the nice weather today as inspiration for our "20 years in the future" magazine project. In a few weeks you can read about the fifth graders goals for the future. Stay tuned.

Math Day

Math Day was a big success. The fifth graders enjoyed showing off their math skills. Thanks to all of the friends and family that came to participate.

Open House at the Outdoor Lab

Thinking about a fun, free, spring day in the country?  The Outdoor Lab Open House is the event for you!

This is a great opportunity for you and your family to relax, fish, hike, explore the animal lab, admire the spring blossoms,  investigate a sream, breathe the fresh country air, roast hotdogs, and cook s'mores. There is a green note in Friday folders this week, and here is the website for more information. http://www.outdoorlab.org
