Today we had a very busy day with fun lunch, Pink Shirt Day and Lacrosse. In Lacrosse we played a very fun relay race game where students were challenged to gather as many balls as possible. Tennis balls were worth 1 point, yellow (money balls) were worth 2 points, and red white and blue balls were worth 5 points. Ask your child how many points they received each round. - Next week is going to be a very busy week with Trickster.

Today during science we reflected on what we all ate for lunch. Students were then asked about what types of packing were used in their lunch, as well as what went into the trash from their lunch. Students answered the question: I have ___ pieces of plastic from my lunch today. Ask you child how many pieces that had in their lunch. STUDENTS ARE CHALLENGED TO PACK A WASTE FREE LUNCH FOR TOMORROW. We will reflect on how many students were successful with this challenge tomorrow. Ms. Weir asks students to inquire about the song happy birthday. How far back in the family tree do you know of family members who have sung happy birthday. Today students completed their math test.
