The second tab News and Upcoming Events will link you to another page on our blog that will give you information about holidays, school events, meetings, etc...

The third tab Homework will link you to the page that provides what homework assignments are for the week and when they are due.

The fourth tab Quizzes and Tests will link you to the page that provides information on upcoming quizzes and tests, benchmark dates, etc...

The fifth tab Helpful Links takes you to a page that will provide information on how to get to our school library page, computer lab page, and will soon be getting more helpful links for your child to access from home.

The last page Contact Info. provides you will information to contact us.

I'm going to have to taste what?

What do you get when 44 kids do a matter taste test??? A bunch of funny faces that is for sure!!! In science we have been learning about matter and how we can observe its physical properties using our 5 senses. We have completed a sound lab, smell lab, and today a taste lab. I must say I think the taste lab was by far both classes favorite! There were 15 different items to taste and the students had to describe whether the item was sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. I couldn't help but laugh the entire class at the variety of faces I saw as I walked around the room to each group!! There faces were priceless! Here...you can see for yourself LOL
