International Day of Happiness

This morning we started off by continuing our weaving. Lots of us are getting better and better at creating designs and adding more colors to our artwork. Mrs. Stables taught us how to add beadwork and tuffs of yarn to our designs. We are aiming to finish our weaving by tomorrow but it is taking a very long time so we may need to work on it after spring break too.

Today is the International Day of Happiness. To celebrate we listened to the song "Happy" by Pharrell and then created a calendar for April where for each day, we listed activities we could do that would bring us happiness. Ms. Binks also gave us a special task. We were each given 3 compliment cards and are supposed to give them out to people by the end of today. We are hoping that by doing so, we can spread some kindness and happiness throughout our community.

In science today we continued to test the strength of pillars. Today we started to test how many blocks our 4 pillars could hold but soon ran out of blocks! One group had pillars that held over 1200 blocks! We will continue testing tomorrow.

Exciting news....we have enough volunteers to go to Aggie Days!! Permission forms were sent home today with students. They are due back by April 3. For parents who expressed an interest in volunteering, your child should be bringing home the volunteer consent form today with their form. Please fill it out and return it with your child's paperwork. Our field trip is the first week we come back from Spring Break so please make sure that you fill out and return the forms asap.

Reminders:
- Student led conferences are Wednesday and Thursday
- No school for students on Thursday and Friday of this week. Spring break is all next week
-Field trip forms sent home
