A New Class Auction

There is a new auction on the books: Our students will be able to bid at the auction to throw a pie in either Ms. Schenk's or my face! So come, April 16, to the Gleason Carnival and bring your cameras for a once in a life time moment for a lucky student! We hope to see everyone there!

Note for Monday

Just a few reminders for Monday:

- I will not be at school on Monday because I will be taking a certification test

- Sign and return Conduct Cards 

- Sign and return the bottom portion of Report Cards 

Have a great weekend!

Insulat-Off

The 4th grade will be competing in an "Insulat-Off" on April 1, 2011. The students will use what they have learned in class and any extra research they want to do to design and create an insulator using household materials (students are not required to buy any materials). The only limit on materials is it cannot be a pre-made insulator (no lunch box, no thermos, no ice chest, etc.) The insulating materials need to be brought in a leak proof contain (coffee can, sandwich bag, Tupperware, etc.) An ice cube will be placed in the insulator at the beginning of class and we will keep track of how long it takes for the ice cube to melt. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions for this project.
