Halloween Party Pictures

 We had a wonderful time at the Halloween Party!  A special thank you to everyone who donated materials and/or their time to make the party so much fun and a success!

Weather Research

 We have been working hard on our weather research in the LMC.  Students have been broken into groups and have been researching a natural disaster in small groups.  Based upon their research, they created a weather forecast with their group.  All the groups have finished their scripts and some have even taped their videos.  Thank you so much to all our families who volunteered to help us in the LMC.  We could not do these types of projects without you!

Another Flat Stanley Returned

 Wynston was so excited that his Flat Stanley came back form the lovely state of Michigan.  His Flat Stanley went to visit his grandparents.  He had quite a few adventures while on his trip!  He returned with lots of flyers and even a map of the community they live in.  Watervliet, Michigan sounds like a wonderful place!
