This week has been awesome. On Monday we had songs and acting for advent, Tuesday we had gym and we did stacking cups. Wednesday was a half day, after school some people might have went out shopping, went to get lunch, just went home, or maybe went to a friends house. Thursday we had gym again, but instead of doing stacking cups we played poor poor puppy, and everyone seemed to love that game. On Thursday afternoon we had a prep assembly, and we wished the varsity volleyball team good luck on their trip to state!
From Mrs. R -
Today we culminated our research on the Great Lakes Ecosystem with a debate. The Boosters argued about how much better the conditions are now that environmental clean up has taken place and laws are enforced. The Doomers argued that the conditions are still bad and much more needs to be done. Ask your kids what invasive species are. And about the Cuyahoga River Fire!
