Some times, algebra can be tricky. Especially when it is solving for variables and remembering the order of operations. But, just because it is difficult doesn't mean that we give up!
Kindergarten was having fun learning about shadows. We went outside to see our shadows and notice where they were and where the sun was.
3rd grade enjoyed the weather with a game of Charlie over the ocean. They learned the game in music class.
Message from Mrs. Fuiten:
Just a reminder- pictures will be this Thursday at 4:00 before the game. Please be dressed and ready to at that time to expedite the picture process.
Also, there are a few conflicts with concession workers this week. If you are not scheduled to work in concessions this year and are able to help out tonight or Thursday, it would be appreciated.

Some times math is challenging and we need a break. 5 minute brain breaks help refocus our minds and energy.
