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.

I am sending our weekly email out a day early this week because there is a change to the schedule next Monday so I wanted to give plenty of notice. First of all, attached is the February Calendar. Please note, the Metcalf game is rescheduled to February 11. The other big change is to Monday. WLB boys are playing in a sectional basketball game on Monday at 6:30. The 7th grade WLB girls wanted to go support their team so we are going to bump up game times a little bit. The 7th grade game will be at 5:00 and the 8th grade game will follow.
Monday, February 3- Game vs WLB at CCS. 7th grade game at 5:00 and 8th grade game will follow. No RED game.
Tuesday, February 4- Game @ CEL. RED game at 4:00, 7th grade game at 5:00 and 8th grade game will follow.

In 3rd grade STEM today we celebrated 101th day of school by building dog house. The idea comes from the Disney movie 101 Dalmatians.
Some times math is challenging and we need a break. 5 minute brain breaks help refocus our minds and energy.
There will be NO wrestling practice today, Friday January 31st.
100 days smarter in 3rd grade!
Congratulations to all of our 1st Semester Honors Students!
The 5th/6th grade boys' basketball season will start next week on Thursday, February 6th at Zion Mt. Pulaski. All games will be played at 6:00 unless otherwise noted on the schedule. Just like the regular season, unless it is a tournament, home games wear white and away games wear red. I’m assuming Coach Koester will want the players at the game about 30 minutes before. Thank you all for being so flexible.
