Fore! In honor of the Summer Olympics, student engineers in 5th grade designed and created models of mini-golf holes. We learned about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion as well as the history of golf in the Summer Olympics. After the engineers finished building their models, we played a round of mini-golf, giving everyone the opportunity to try out each one.
As we approach the last days of school here is a reminder of our final days:
May 22nd - Kindergarten's last day of school
May 27th - No School Memorial Day
May 28th - No School Teacher Inservice
May 29th - 1st-7th grades last day of school with early dismissal at 11:20

Yesterday was day 3 & our final day in the DC. area. We visited Mt. Vernon, MLK Jr. Memorial, FDR Memorial, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Museum & ended at Dave & Busters before heading home. We had a whirlwind of a few days but saw so much!
Second day in D.C. yesterday did not disappoint! Our group got to see the presidential motorcade leave the White House, the inside of the White House, WWII Memorial, Capital Building, Library of Congress, the Constitution & Declaration of Independence at the Archives & a ghost tour in Alexandria! We are exhausted, but it's so worth it!
