Field Trip/ISTEP/Egg Drop

     Wow, another very busy week is at a close.  We had a great trip to Notre Dame on Tuesday.  The weather was beautiful and the kids were really wonderful.  They did a great job representing our school.  It was fun to see them in the dining hall spotting a football player and waiting patiently for him to finish eating before they asked for photos.  We were very happy with their behavior.  We had a wonderful tour of the campus and learned some interesting tings as well.  A former PHS valedictorian, Lindsay Renz,  helped arrange our tours and gave one to Mrs.T. Dennie's class.  It was great for our kids to see what you can achieve! 



      We took our final ISTEP test today and we are happy with the effort the kids put into it.  They have worked hard and we are excited for the results. 

     We finished up our Egg Drop project today with testing the containers in the loading dock.  Only eight containers did not protect the egg.  This is great!  When they were finished each group had a form to fill out about costs, and why their egg survived or broke.  They had a good time with this project. 





       As the year draws to a close, we will be turning our classrooms into states for our tour of states.  This is a time when all of the other classes will come to visit each other.  This is a fun activity and our kids are so good at working with each other this should be pretty easy for them. 

      Have a great weekend.
