Awesome Authors

A BIG thank you to all who helped make the DAS Poetry Night a huge success!  It was so wonderful to see all of the students there - thank you parents for bringing them.  I hope you had a chance to see their poems that were displayed in the back of Webster Hall.  They are truly awesome authors!

4th and 5th graders had their mid- chapter tests in math today.  3rd graders will have theirs on Monday.  

Today in science we talked about the dangers of caffeine - especially the energy drinks that are targeted to young people.  Here is one of the videos we watched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8u7R3HdPf8.

In writing we are working on our conclusions for our opinion essays.  Here is a great video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L7aeO9fBzE.

In reading we started our new reading books and took a quiz on theme.

TOMORROW is the field trip to Wonderworks!  All students need to wear their DAS T-shirt.  Please bring a sack lunch.

Our quote for today is, "The difference between try and triumph is a little umph."
