• Second graders sang their hearts out in music class.

• A paper about opposites, called "Ant-o-nyms" became a really fun challenge once the students caught on how it was to be done. There were no hints!
• The rubber is hitting the road in math. Students are expected to finish nearly thirty-five examples of regroup and subtract. Many of them must complete it as homework this weekend.
• Top Dog Logan pulled sticks from the basket as contestants tried their hands at deciding which characteristic matched the seals and which one matched the sea lions. They slid their answers around on the SmartBoard.
