Our "Wonder"land Week

Stonehedge Blue has been very busy working on projects and finishing up research for their "I Wonder" questions. Lots of parent volunteers and community member visits have allowed children to explore their subjects in great detail and create projects to showcase what they have learned.

As a reminder, students will deliver oral presentations to their classmates and projects will be on display as we celebrate learning on the evening of Wednesday, February 12 from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm. Families will be invited to view the finished products in a format similar to that of a science fair.  


Our Winter “Wonder”land promises to be an exciting experience for all involved. Please mark your calendar for this evening event as students celebrate their learning.

Parent volunteers helped kindergarten and first grade students construct paper mache animals.

Are you taller than an Emperor penguin? Kindergarten students wanted to find out!

Second grade students made smoothies with Physical Education teacher Mrs. Barbuto. Here they are showcasing all of the healthy ingredients they used.

Second grade students studying exercise and nutrition took a break to do some Zumba with instructor Dawn Marie from Go Figure Gym.

Dr. Stephanie Grice and nurse Erin Shortslef from Golisano Children's Hospital spoke to students in Mrs. McCarthy's second grade class about blood and the heart.

Great Response to First Annual Stonehedge PTA SOUPER Bowl 
While the actual superbowl isn't until Sunday, the first annual PTA SOUPER bowl has been going on all week. Students were asked to bring in non-perishable items for donation to the Samaritan Center. Boxes were placed in each lobby representing the Broncos and the Seahawks. Students put their donations in the box for their favorite team. Our Stonehedge family has been very generous! As of this minute, it is too close to call! Stay tuned, we'll announce the winner on Monday.

Please remember: There is no school for students tomorrow, Friday, January 31. It is a staff development day.

 Keep warm,
Lori
