Week 26: Walking Into Spring

We love the spring weather we’ve been having this week! It gets us all excited for THREE THINGS:

Our Walk for Water on Tuesday!
Spring Break
Family Fun Night coming up

In this issue, you’ll see some of the things we learned and discussed on World Water Day, all of our Science & Innovation Fair entries, and a little about Chinese calligraphy — the start of our new social studies unit. Enjoy!

World Water Day

We had a special visitor, Carrie Ward, come to talk to us about how clean water significantly impacts the lives of students in South Sudan. Check out some of the photos and a video of one thing we realized — how grateful we are to have clean water at our fingertips!

Science & Innovation Fair

We want to thank all of our participants in the Science & Innovation Fair. What a treat it was to see how your creative scientific minds have been hard at work! Thank you to the families who supported your student participants. We know it takes a little extra work, and we think your students did a fabulous job!
