The students did a fantastic job on their circuit rooms in science! I really enjoyed watching them solve problems and apply their knowledge of circuits. You can see pictures of them above.

I'm also enjoying listening to them practice for our musical! They're doing a great job with the songs and lines, and even helped me to think of motions for many of the songs. As a reminder, we will be performing on Tuesday, March 19, and students should be continuing to practice their songs and lines. Tickets are on sale now at the office.

We are continuing to take the TerraNova tests through Tuesday of next week (March 12). Thank you for your help in making sure that your child gets enough sleep, eats a good breakfast, and brings a healthy snack to school.

In reading right now, students are participating in literature circles. They each are reading a book of their choice (either My Life as a Book, Secrets of Cicada Summer, Who Stole the Wizard of Oz?, or Pleasing the Ghost), and are meeting to share their thoughts on their books, just like in a book club! In writing, we're working on adjectives, and students will have a test on this next week on Friday, March 15.
