Mr. Mike here for the last time, officially signing off for the month of January.  I apologize for the delay, but I have a lot to catch you all up on.

With February vacation fast approaching, I would like to remind you that we have our deadline to register for vacation week by tomorrow, February 5th.  Any questions, please ask when dismissing your child and we will gladly assist you in the process.

In spirit of music week, the kids made their own instruments with only a handful of household items such as plastic Easter eggs, rice, cups, noodles, and plenty of tape.  We tested out our instruments, named them, and sang a few familiar songs.  Overall, it was a hit!

Our next project was with Mr. John, making snow gauges in anticipation for the snow storm and having something to measure how much accumulated over the night.  The kids had a blast making them and learned that with a few simple items around the house, you can create something really useful and cool!

And last but not least, we had our STEM spectacular project with Miss Kristen.  Each student had the choice to build a base out of paper in either the shape of a cylinder, triangle, or square.  Once the base was built, they tested how sturdy their structure was by stacking books on top.  Some were able to stack 20+ books!  It was a great introduction to STEM which is our current theme this week.
