Dear Parents,
As we head into the last week, students are taking final unit tests and finishing up projects. Today, the 5th and 6th graders updated their portfolios with math and science exemplars.

The 8th graders are putting the finishing touches on their robotics projects and making last minutes touches to their presentations. There are, of course some big challenges to solve in the next 24 hours.

If you make it to the school, perhaps for graduation, be sure to take a look at the 6th grade math projects. Students put a lot of work into their projects and have a much better understanding of percentage.

In your envelopes, you will see a sign-up sheet for garden help.This year we have a container with tip sheets, a log, a camera for picture taking (we have a blog), containers for bugs (so our experts can identify them!) Please help us out if you can.

We will be trying to do several Weed N Feeds this year. If you remember last year’s, you will recall that we had fun despite being rained out.
