Dear Families,

We had an exciting week in school. This week we had two Oregon Battle of the Books battles. Our students did very well in all of their battles! Next week we will have three more battles. Some of the times have yet to be determined, but we know that: 
  • Team Luria will be battling on Friday at 2 pm. 
  • Blooming Pearls will be battling at 2:30 on Friday. 
  • Moonstones will be battling on Wednesday 2 pm.
This coming week we also will be starting our IB unit on How the World Works! We will be studying all about Bridges! We encourage you to come to one of the most exciting events in this unit - the Pasta Bridge Challenge. Students will have one hour to create a bridge out of pasta and then they will be load tested and broken on Thursday afternoon. Please feel free to come and watch around 2:30 on Thursday, or help out from noon till 3pm. We still need 3 adult volunteers for this activity to work! Please email me to let me know if you can come or write me a note.

Speeches will be held next week as well. Your child has been researching a food and will give a 2-4 minute speech on Monday, Wednesday or Friday on their chosen food. This is the culminating activity for our IB unit on food and culture around the world.

Monday at 8:30 speeches - Valynn, Tyonna, Davis, Yanci, Ayla, Wallace, Kaimen, Sadie, Heaven
Wednesday at 8:30 speeches - Eleanor, Adah, Wren, Preston, Patrick, Bibi, Sarah, Eliza, Jesus
Friday at 9:30 speeches - Calub, Emmy, Weston, Curtis, Ian, Johnny, Sophia and Sha'Day

Have a wonderful weekend,
Sacha
