Jump To It - Science Fair

In 5th grade the science fair is optional, unless you are in Miss Stienbergs 5th/6th split class, then it is required. 

Joe's Science Fair project this year was testing to see if age affected how far you can jump.

He tested groups of people in different age groups and found that for kids the older they got the farther they could jump. But there comes a point where age means that you don't jump as well. 

Good Job Joe. 

Officer Wride

 It was a busy day at the school today.  In between Parents and pastries and the Science Fair there was a special precession that came by the school to honor a fallen officer, Corey Wride. 

 

Officer Wride was shot and killed earlier last year.  The city was honoring him by naming a park after him.  It was an honor to stand with all of the kids and wave our flags as his fellow officers and family drove past.  I am so grateful for the men and women who work hard to protect our community and keep us safe. 

Parents and Pastries with Josh

One of the things that our PTA does is host a parent's and pastries day for each grade.  Today was the Third Grade day.  That means I get to go read with Josh at school for an hour, and we get to have cookies.  I am so grateful to have opportunities to be a part of his day. 

I love getting to spend a little extra time with this kid.  When Josh started reading a few years ago he did not love it.  Now that we have figured out what kinds of books he likes to read he has started to have a love for reading.  He is not a fantasy guy.  Josh is all about the facts.  So we spent our time reading and learning about Seals and Sea Lions. 

Bee Bop With Aesop

 The 3rd grade had their school program tonight.  It was titled Bee Bop With Aesop.  It was really cute.   Each class sang about and acted out one of Aesop's fables.  They did the Tortes and the Hair, The Boy who cried wolf, and don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today. 

 

Josh's class did Look Before you leap. 

 

They did a great job.
