Welcome Back!

Welcome back to the new school year!  I know things outside are crazy, but inside we are starting to settle into our new routine!  All students have gotten off to a great start and seem to be glad to be back.  We are starting into our new Science book today and began our first Math unit yesterday.  Below is information I received from the Cincinnati Observatory about a great event they are having this Saturday.  If you don't have weekend plans it would be a great learning day! 

This Saturday the Cincinnati Observatory is holding its annual Astronomy Fair from noon until 11pm.  It’s an opportunity for kids, parents and teachers to look at the latest and greatest astronomical equipment offered by local and national vendors.  Activities include, classes, educational materials for teachers, kid’s space crafts, safe viewing of the Sun, swap table, meteorites, tours of our historic buildings and more astronomical door prizes than you can imagine.  We’re even giving away telescopes.
