We made weather vanes today! The kids measured, cut, and assembled a weather vane. Tomorrow we will take them outside and determine which way the wind is blowing!

Speaking of science......don't forget to study for the quiz on atmosphere! Know the 5 layers, how many miles in each layer, and what kinds of things occur in each layer. Good luck!

Thanks to Katie B. today who showed 5K how she Irish dances! Wow! She even brought the music and her shoes. Best 'O Luck with your performances tomorrow, Katie!!

That's it for today. I hope you get outside to enjoy the weather. Spring is in the air!!
