First Week Fun!

It has been an exciting and fun first week of school!   It has been so nice to see old friends and to welcome some new faces to our campus.  Another new thing that happened this week was an organizational meeting of a group of students who are going to work on our first Think Tank project, a scarecrow entry in a contest sponsored by the Lichterman Nature Center.  The Center is a great resource for our city and we are looking forward to being a part of this activity.  The students discussed using objects that we already have around our houses, turning our "trash" into a "treasure".  There will be more information on this project to follow...

August Activities

August is a month filled with fun activities and events for my family.  We just returned from the beach Saturday night after having celebrated my 21st wedding anniversary with my husband and my daughter's 12th birthday (and my husband's birthday is on August 20th).  Today I have returned to school to start setting up our wonderful new "Think Tank" classroom in Davis Hall.  I am so excited about the activities that we will all do in that room!  Be thinking about new things to research and study and I look forward to seeing you all next week:)
