Traps Tomorrow!

Well hello. I have a horrible feeling that the leprechauns have arrived! Naughty, naughty! It was either that or graham crackers or frosting in our science lab today. Crazy, crazy, crazy in here. I have some other fun things planned, but I am honestly a little worried about how some kids are handling themselves lately. We have to be able to be 4th graders, have fun, and transition back into learning situations without staying silly for so long. That being said, most kids are acting appropriate. It is just difficult when three to five ruin it for everyone. Please talk about this with your kiddos tonight! Thanks.

Leprechaun traps are due tomorrow. Kids may bring them down and place them on the tables in the hallway when they arrive tomorrow morning. Please help them remember to post their name in some fashion on their trap where it can be seen. This is a science grade under the standard of recycling and presenting information. As long as they come with a trap, are able to explain how the trap works, have used recycled products, and finally and most importantly, that they have applied effort and creativity to the project they should have no worries about what grade they will earn. Ask your child about the Leprechaun Trap story I read to them this morning during CC Meeting. If they can tell you how the story had a twist, write TRAP in the planner for $20.

Have to run to a meeting, so will blog more tomorrow. Have a great night!
