Fun with Buddies!

Today we were invited into the 1st grade room to work with our buddies.

The first graders had written instructions for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They read their instructions to the 7th grades who carefully followed each instruction as dictated. It was a great time and we got to enjoy some wonderful sandwiches!

Here are a few photos from the day.

Fort Stevens Monday, June 2nd

Calling ALL Parents!

The Seventh grade overnight trip to Fort Stevens regrettably had to be cancelled. However, we will still be going for a one day excursion to the Oregon Coast.

We will leave Cascade Heights at 8:00 AM headed out to the Maritime Museum,  then lunch at the Astoria Column, and we will end at the gun batteries at Fort Stevens. We plan to return to Cascade Heights by 4:30 PM.

We will have a bus for this trip so chaperons need not drive. Please contact me as soon as possible if you are able to join us.

This is the final piece to bring the reality of WWII home for your student. We will be seeing how our armed forces were prepared to protect our boarders during such a frightening time.

We are looking forward to this amazing trip and hope that you can join us on Monday, June 2nd.

NON Pictures!

WOW! What an amazing night!

I am so very proud of all the middle school students. They did a wonderful job and should be very proud happy with the result of their efforts.

I have built a Google Presentation with the pictures I took of the 7th grade students.

Please visit the following link to see the results of all their hard work from the past three months.
