This week we celebrated Josh's birthday ceremony, reviewed math games and learned a few new ones, and began to plan for our party next Wednesday

Angie talked to the students about the healing powers of Plantain and helped them start a salve (a.k.a. healing potion) using plantain and olive oil.

In addition to the choice time noted in a previous post and our literacy activities, we were visited by Librarian Karen to talk about the Summer Reading program.

Students also extended their work with the marble rails.  This week they built a run that measured 55 feet long and ended in a jump.  They also experimented with which spheres were able to actually make it all the way to the end and do the jump.

Students participated in a Team Challenge where they had to lead a blindfolded team mate to match M&M's with correct colored paper by voice commands alone.

The big news this week is about the parade!  Teacher Dawn led The Bridge School Kazoo band in making floats and parading through the Burien Farmer's Market.  They contacted the B-Town Blog who posted about the event on their site.  Our students kazooed their way through the market to the tune of Queen's "We Will Rock You," while throwing candy at the onlookers.  What a day!

And, of course, what day would be complete without an impromptu dance party on the lawn in front of school.  

Thanks for another great week!
