Week in Review January 5th,2011

                                        Welcome to 2011!
     Your Beacon returned to school on Monday, January 3, 2011 ready and raring to work. On this posting, I thought it would be great fun for you to see your Beacon hard at work on creating the Living History Museum Day's tri folds. Their presentations reflected their diligent work. They not only had their tri folds to present, but their explorer's shoulder to head "bust" made out of a pliable material which hardens similar to clay called Model Magic and their laminated Explorer trading cards! As if that isn't enough, the Beacons did an amazing job on their Science animal power points in Mrs. Price's science class.  Both Mrs. Price and I are so proud of your Beacon! We know 2011 will be filled with even  more productive and exciting experiences in learning!

                                 We are all hard at work researching our explorers and
                                  creating our tri folds for our Living History Museum Day!

                                                 I'm ALMOST done!!

                              Alexander the Great's tri-fold is done and it sure looks great!
