Valentine’s Day is Tuesday, February 14th. Students are welcome to send in Valentine’s for each student in the class to share. Here is our class list: The Lyons’ Den. We will have our exchange at the end of the day. Your child’s bag will be stapled, as students are to open the bag at home with you.
We had loads of fun last Friday! Students had the opportunity to learn about coding through a great lesson put on by the Tucker High School Students in the Computer Science Honor Society. We also created some straw pan flutes to help reinforce what we are learning about pitch in our science unit on sound energy. Be sure to ask your child all about these great experiences!

Social Studies: The students are enjoying learning about the Northeast Region! This week we will learn about the climate, natural resources, and economic industries of the Northeast.
Science: We are having a lot of fun learning about sound energy! Students created straw pan flutes on Friday to help them recognize the difference in pitch based on the length of each of the straw pieces. Ask your child about what they discovered! Will will have some sound rotations this week to reinforce how pitch and frequency are related and how vibrations are connected to sound. A sound quiz is scheduled for Thursday, 2/16. Please use the sound notes and study guide to prepare for the quiz.
