Glenn’s Ditch
Last week we had a blustery, but exciting, walk to the ocean along Glen’s Ditch! I do not think that anyone returned to the school completely dry. However, everyone returned with big smiles and good stories.

Language Arts
We finished reading The Chalk Box Kid and completed a final project based on the book. In the photographs above you can see the project as a work-in-progress. You will have to stop by the school to see it finished! This week we will be starting new books.

Science with Ice Cream
On Friday we will be making ice cream with the middle school students as a part of our study of the states of matter. We will be making vanilla ice cream and if your child would like to bring toppings they can. Please send enough with them to share with everyone.

Paragraph a Week
The paragraph assignment this week is “A Great Day.”
