EVENTS BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR WALKING CONTEST TALLY SHEETS UPDATED BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY ON FRIDAYS.  THANK YOU. CLARIFICATION ON THE WALKING CONTESTS We are relying on personal honesty. HOW TO EARN WALKING PATH CONTEST CREDIT FOR YOUR TEAM Walk or run laps on the school walking path during during school days:  7:30 am to 5:00 pm supervised by adults associated with school. Walking to school or home again does not count for this contest Walking field trips off school property do not count although we applaud the exercise. :( HOW TO EARN WALKING WEDNESDAY CREDIT FOR YOUR TEAM Count only the walk into school on Wednesdays.   Walking home is not factored in.  Walking to and from school on other days besides Wednesdays is not counted for the either of the contests. Again, we applaud the exercise, just not for this contest because it is too hard to verify.

REPORTS AND PICTURES INCREDIBLES COMMUNICATION EXERCISE Mr. Clark asked his students to pass raw eggs back and forth between each other.  It was important to say the name of the person each egg was to be passed to prior to tossing it to them.  The goal was to highlight the need for communication: calling out a person and then listening for yours. Paying attention to body language was important too.  The exercise was fun and messy.  The video is 1 1/2 minutes long.   LINK TO VIDEO SACS FARMYARD FRIENDS This chicken and two ducks appear to have adopted our school.
