Good afternoon parents and guardians,

What a fun week! I hope you enjoyed this month's family project. The kids were super excited to set their trap and catch a leprechaun. The pictures I uploaded onto our Shutterfly does not show the full excitement of the students. They really were in awe, it was amazing!

These past two weeks my class began the first Project Lead the Way (PLTW) module. I hope they went home and explained their creations to you. They were able to put on their engineer hats and solve problems. They did amazing, and the way they helped each other out, made my teacher heart happy.
