The students have done a wonderful job memorizing and presenting poetry this week! Did you know that some of the students even recited their poems over the intercom to inspire the rest of the school? We continue to work on the rough drafts of our Earth Day poems and will finish the final drafts and illustrations once we return from Easter break.

Students will attempt to move their vehicles using rubber band energy. They will evaluate the design of their vehicles for rubber band energy.
