2021-2022: School Year Calendar
SFPS has moved up the start of their school year for 2021-2022. We will not be moving our dates.
Ancient Egypt studies
Ms. Caitlin’s class showed off their knowledge of Ancient Egypt by designing and creating a trivia game that was enjoyed by Ms. Ellen’s class and Mr. Bret. They also crafted a pharaoh to display in the classroom. Both activities supported development of design and cooperation. I wonder if they stumped Mr. Bret with their trivia?
Invention convention
Intermediate remote students are working on inventions for their Language Arts and Science classes. In Language Arts they researched and brainstormed inventions and in Science they have been studying the steps of a design project and are now in the development phase. There is no doubt that great inventions can come from young thinkers. These students have come up with creative inventions to improve the way we live. We look forward to seeing their final products!
