GeoBread Houses

Families...

Today your students should have brought home a letter about an upcoming project.  Starting the week of December 19th, we will begin planning and building "Geo"bread houses using concepts taught during our upcoming geometry unit.  In order to make this project happen we need your help!  Please donate any of the items from the list (or any other items that would work).

(image of the letter that hopefully you have seen by now)



Here are some pictures from last year
to give you an idea of what's to come!

Dance of the Hats

On Monday, students were FINALLY able to participate in the Red Thread Dance of the Hats.  Since our field trip was canceled last month, Springboard, artists and our hats came to visit Wyland.  The 3rd graders were able to watch our students show off their dancing skills!  I was impressed at how well the students remembered the dance steps, since we rehearsed one afternoon for 90 minutes...back in OCTOBER!
