Secret Snow Pal

Just a reminder that every child should be working on a Secret Snow Pal card at home.  Some have already turned them in.   They can decorate their card however they want, but please do not have them include any food or candy with their cards.  This are due on Tuesday.  Let me know if you have any questions.

MAP Testing

We completed MAP testing today.  If your child was absent or did not finish their testing, they will complete it next week.

Two More Echos Return

This week we were so happy to have two more Echos return to Dryden!

Michael's Echo came back from visiting Mimi in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.  While there, he had a great time learning about the state.  He got to visit so many fun places and got to go to the Liberty Bell.  He even had a short visit to New York City since it isn't that far away.  He had so much fun learning about the history of our country!

Sophia's Echo can back from Wasilla, Alaska.  While in Alaska, Echo got to learn about sled dogs and the Iditarod.  She got to visit with the Kelly Family.  She got to race on a sled with a real sled dog team and got to visit their training facility.  She had a wonderful time learning about this fascinating sport and state.

Card Board Challenge

First I want to thank you all for the great donations to the Cardboard Challenge!  We started building today and the class is actively working and thinking creatively!  The pile was huge and I could not even imagine them using all the boxes we had!  The students have been building with big dreams in mind!  Thank you for always supporting classroom activities!

Here is a video of creativity in action!
