Spring Party!

 Thanks to the Party Committee for planning a super fun party before Spring Break!

Happy Wacky Hair & Hat Day!

 

W.I.S.E!

 This morning 6-1 participated in a workshop presented by WISE (Women in Science and Engineering). 

Students had the chance to work hands-on, building different types of circuits. 

They also had the chance to build a mini electro-magnetic motor!

How cool!

Happy Rhyme Time Day!

 

Day of Happy!

 Did you know that March 20th is the International Day of Happiness?

Since 2013, the United Nations has celebrated the International Day of Happiness as a way to recognize the importance of happiness in the lives of people around the world.

The theme for 2024 is: Happier Together: Keep calm, Stay wise and Be kind!

6-1 celebrated by sharing things that make them happy

and by creating artwork, surrounded by words that make us happy, inspired by the book The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds.
