Fire Safety Program

Students enjoyed a program by the Grapevine Fire Department yesterday about fire safety. They sang songs, danced, learned how to be safe at home and what to do in case of a fire. Thanks to the firefighters from the City of Grapevine for a great program.

Play Dough Process Part 2

The great Play Dough Improvement engineering unit is coming to an end. You can see that many teams did, indeed, improve their play dough. Mark your calendar for November 14th to attend our Family STEM Night and experience first-hand the play dough making process.

Report Cards

Dear Parents,

Report cards for Mrs. Marin's homeroom were not passed out because we were running late due to a Fire Safety program we had at school today.  Report cards will be sent home with your child tomorrow 10/24/2013.  Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Play-dough Process

Yesterday was each team's first attempt at improving the play-dough process. Teams discussed the order that the materials were mixed together and attempted to improve the quality of the play-dough. We evaluated the quality of each team's play-dough and chose one process that we will all use today. Some of the students are even experimenting with the process at home. We are always excited when what we are learning at school gets carried home. Could this be the beginning of the end of "nothin'" or "I don't know" when you ask the question, "What did you do at school today?" We sure hope so! Check out some pictures each team took to document their work.

CogAT Rescheduled

Due to computer issues with the testing site, CogAT testing has been rescheduled for Monday, October 28 through Wednesday, October 30.

CogAT Testing

CogAT Testing will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Please be sure that your child is at school each of those days.  If at all possible, please do not plan doctor or dentist appointments for those days. Breakfast will be served at school as usual, but if your child does not eat at school, they need to have a healthy breakfast at home.
