Week of February 20th to 24th

Our interview with Superintendent Dr. Robert Ackell will take place on Tuesday, February 28th.  The students are preparing their questions and practicing interview techniques.  They are still working on questions and follow-ups for the interview.

The planning for the field trip to the high school to observe some higher level classes is almost complete.  The date has been changed to March 2, 2017.  Permission slips should be returned by Monday, February 27th.

The elementary gifted support students will be sending a team to the K’Nex challenge at Intermediate Unit 29 in Pottsville on March 23.  All the students will be helping with the challenge with a team of 4 attending the competition.  The challenge is to create a ride using K’Nex for an environmentally friendly new amusement park.

The planning for our trip to the Intermediate Unit’s new Maker Space is complete.  Sixth grade students will go on Monday, March 20, and third, fourth, and fifth grade students will go on Tuesday, March 21.  This is a new area at the IU that offers resources to further explore topics like Art & Music, Coding & Robotics, Electricity, Science, and Mathematics & English Language Arts.  We will be visiting later in March.  More details will be given soon.
