Greetings!
It was GREAT seeing students return safely after the Hurricane Matthew break. Our week was short, yet fun and engaging. Thursday was our first STEAM DAY. It went really well! Students designed aluminum foil boats and predicted how many pennies it could hold before sinking. It was amazing seeing students working collaboratively to master this task. This will be a full week of school and I am looking forward to continued learning and fun. Below you will find upcoming skills and events for the week.
