Hat day / Orange and Blue day

Good morning! Student council is sponsoring a hat day this Friday.  Students can bring $1 and wear a hat to school on Friday.  The money collected will be sent to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Michael relief.  I am sorry for the short notice. Remember every Friday is Orange and Blue day! 

 Thursday we have a kickoff assembly for Brainstormers. This is our annual set of assemblies paid for by box tops for Education. The one in the spring is a favorite as it showcases stories written by our own DES students. This assembly will help get us inspired to "Think it Up and Write it Down!" It will start first thing in the morning. So ask your child about it tomorrow. Remember to keep sending in box tops all year to contribute to the success of this experience. 

 The little baggies with a note on it yesterday came from the Book Fair. Funds raised will go toward purchasing books for students and our school.

PHOTOS!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here are the leprechaun drawings students made on Friday!  We had a great field trip to the VanAndel Science Institute on Tuesday.  The students worked hard as engineers! They learned the engineering process:  Discovering a problem, learning what they need to know in order to solve the problem, designing a solution, and making improvements to their solution in order to make their solution the best it can be!   We had to find a way that flowers can be pollinated in the event that bees become extinct! Students used various materials to engineer a pollinator that could transfer pollen from the flower to another location. Our "pollen" was baking soda. Enjoy the photos below!  You can watch the students expressions change as the scientist turns up the power on the "shake table" to test the marshmallow models students built. This was a highlight of the day I think!  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DRDYax-NmKNfdJZ5YZzahK
