No matter what that little groundhog decided, this is definitely a wintery winter and our school schedule is constantly being impacted by the weather with early dismissals, two-hour delays, and closings. The kids have been great rolling with the frequent changes.

In science, we’re working on Earth’s Systems and Human Impacts, and students are creating board games that meet two things: they have to be fun and they have to teach about the four earth’s systems – geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.

Last week students learned about a school wide contest called Battle of the Books. This contest lasts for a few months and challenges kids to read from a selection of 14 different books. They could read as many or as few as they’d like, but I want them to read at least two. I suspect that most kids will want to read more than that. Ask your child about this. Encourage him/her to get involved because more involved = more reading.
