We are so proud of all of our Warriors! Check out these smiling faces from our Honor Roll, Straight A, and BUG award winners. We also are so excited to see so many cars on our Road to Reading. Students have earned lots of fun prizes already! Keep reading and working hard!
5th graders had fun being scientist in STEAM this week. We are working in our chemical magic unit, and getting to mix and observe all different kinds of substances and how they react with liquids like vinegar, water, and iodine.
And we're off! Mrs. Rapp's readers are representing a small portion of students that have read for at least 75 minutes.
Remember that students must read at least 75 and turn in their reading log to their teacher to get their race car. There are several stops along the way where students can earn prizes. Keep on reading!
