Laps for Lions and OAKS testing in Math

We will be running around the school Monday supporting our Laps for Lions.  Students will be running at 8:50 starting at the NW corner of the block.  Come on over and cheer us on! 
Due to the change, we will start our round of OAKS Math testing on Tuesday and finishing on Thursday.  We worked on a practice version in groups and kids got a feel for the format.  Most of them are excited to give this a go! 
Wednesday will be the Egg Drop.  We've been reading about eggs and engaged in a couple of eggsperiments.  We'll try a couple more things next week.  It's a lot fun.  Kids need to have a contraption, a detailed drawing and the three paragraphs of the Scientific Inquiry with them on Wednesday.  You all supply the raw egg for the egg drop.  I won't have any extra.
Have a wonderful weekend,
