I HOPE ALL OF YOU PARENTS AND CHILDREN OF CALVARY CHRISTIAN 3RD GRADE ARE GEARING UP FOR THE UPCOMING SCIENCE FAIR! YESTERDAY, WE INVITED 4TH GRADERS TO THE CREHST MUSEUM VISIT TO OUR SCHOOL. THEY PROVIDED AN INFORMATIONAL POWER POINT DEMONSTRATION OF WEATHER PATTERNS. WE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN WEATHER EXPERIMENTS, SIMILAR TO THE ONES PERFORMED IN CLASS LAST WEEK. WE MADE CLOUDS, HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE. THE VISIT WAS INVALUABLE JUST AS ANY "HANDS-ON" EXPERIMENTS IN CLASS AS THIS WILL MOTIVATE AND NOT DISCOURAGE YOUNG MINDS IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE.
UPCOMING INFORMATION: ON EARTH DAY, APRIL 22ND, WE WILL NEED DRIVERS AND DRIVE TO MCNARY WILDLIFE REFUGE IN BURBANK, WASHINGTON. THERE 3RD THROUGH 5TH GRADE WILL PARTICIPATE IN LEARNING STATIONS REVOLVING AROUND THE SHRUB STEP HABITAT, BIRDS, FOWL, AND MANY OTHER LIVING THINGS. THIS WILL BE A 9AM TO 2PM DAY. SO, PLAN TO BRING A SACK LUNCH. THIS YEAR IT WILL BE EXCITING BECAUSE THEY HAVE FINISHED BUILDING THEIR NEW EDUCATION BUILDING AND VISITOR CENTER.
WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE KIDS TO FORT WALLA WALLA SOMETIME IN THE SPRING. PLANS ARE JUST NOW STARTING TO BE DISCUSSED. WE WILL ADVISE YOU LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD.
IOWA TESTING WILL CONVENE AFTER SPRING BREAK ON APRIL 12TH -16TH. I ADVISE PLENTY OF SLEEP, MORE IF ANY, AND PLENTY OF LIQUIDS, GOOD BALANCED DIET.
