February 2012

Thanks you to all parents who have attended conferences during the past week.  I was great to see many of you again and discuss how to best support your child.  February will be full of events for both 5th and 6th grade.

Be sure to check Grade Level tabs for current vocabulary terms.

February 7th - Ecolab Scientists will be here to work with the 6th grade (Chromatography)
February 15th - 6th Grade to The Works - "Engineering activites"
                          5th Grade to Dodge for Monthly outdoor study

February 22-24 - Engineering Week.  3 Days of activities based on Engineering.  Professional Engineers
                           will be in on Thursday to talk about their professions. 

I have added some new links to this sight that you may be interested in looking at.  How to Smile and Engineering Go For It are sites that have many projects and activities for teachers, parents and students.   Eagle Cam is a live streaming video feed of a pair of Eagles in Iowa that are nesting.  This is a fun site to check in on,  especially when the eggs are ready to hatch.
