Welcome back after what I hope has been a great Spring Break. Even the weather feels springlike today as we dive into finishing essays about life at Franklin Elementary School and learning more about long division and probablity. We had a terrific field trip to Port Townsend to see the Marinie Lab and participate in lessons about sound underwater and orcas (Killer Whales.) Both were very good, and the kids handled a long bus ride with ease and a demonstrated sense of joy...how many times did we sing the "Chicken Song?" On a more serious note: The WASL begins next week!
