Mad Science

Last week we were treated to a special science presentation. We saw some really cool experiments....the students loved it!

Spirit Day

Friday was our first Spirit Day at Parkwood. We were sorry that the weather kept us indoors for our flag salute, but the kids still had a good time. The tattoos were a hit...thanks PTA. We were also treated to a shadow puppet show in the afternoon!

We Are Artists!!

The students have been learning about different kinds of lines that can be used when creating a 'cityscape'. We have art class with Mr. Petry every other week.

Science Explorations

On Friday the students completed a performance task in Science. They observed a leaf from the playground with and without a hand lens. They then had to draw and write about what they saw and how the hand lens changed the appearance of the leaf.
