4th grade finished up their energy unit by making cards with simple circuits inside of them. Students got to design their own card, and then worked together to make a working circuit with a LED light, copper tape, and a button battery. They loved making this project their own!
😍What a fantastic Valentine's Day celebration we had today! 🎈 From lively parties to an exciting estimation guessing game and dressing up as what we want to be when we grow up for Kindness Week, it was a day full of joy and creativity! 💕 Remember, there's no school this Monday for President's Day, so enjoy your long weekend! 😍
Can you guess what all of these Washington students have in common?? They have all read at least 375 minutes, at home, for the "Road to Reading" project we are doing. Congratulations for earning the PIZZA reward. Thank you to all of the families who have supported this project by encouraging your students to read more at home. Students earn rewards for every 75 minutes they read, but the next pizza reward will be for reading 750 minutes by 3/17/2025.
With snow in the forecast, all thoughts turn to a potential snow day. Snow day superstitions run deep. See what Washington School students do to help the snow day cause 😂. ❄️

And we're off! Mrs. Rapp's readers are representing a small portion of students that have read for at least 75 minutes.
Remember that students must read at least 75 and turn in their reading log to their teacher to get their race car. There are several stops along the way where students can earn prizes. Keep on reading!
