For each book the students read on RAZ Kids they put a sticker on their gold medals.  Today we had our "closing ceremonies" and here are our champions!

Math 3D Robots

Math students are encouraged to build a 3D robot at home.

It is a fun project to reinforce our geometry work in math.  Please collect cereal boxes, tissue boxes, balls, Pringles cans, wrapping paper tubes or anything else you can think of!  Use these shapes to create a one-of-a-kind robot!  Students will share their robots with the whole class.

Please send in the robots anytime during January.
