Team Mindcrafters Daily Updates - 4-6-16

Parents,

Apparently, my e-mail list has gotten a little goofed up and I missed a large chunk of parents with our daily e-mail the last 2 days.  Sorry about that.  I hope I have it corrected now.  Sorry also if you are getting this e-mail as a duplicate.  I've merged the info in the e-mails for the last 2 days into one.

-Mr. Pransky

Testing. A letter went home Tuesday explaining the testing students will complete in about two weeks.  Students will take tests for ELA (Reading and Language), Math, and Social Studies.

Bike Hike Expectations.  Your child should have a letter explaining the expectations for participation in Bike Hike on May 20.  Please read and discuss this letter with your child and return the signature portion at the bottom.

Fast changes - Students have been learning about fast changes of the earth in Science.  They are currently learning about volcanoes.  Today Miss Schnee did the classic science experiment using baking soda and vinegar to create a volcano simulation.  It was really fun to watch!  See the attached videos.
