The games are not only engaging, but also educational.  We've been spending our time in the money section because we have an upcoming assessment, but feel free to flex your skills in all subject areas!

Plastic Bags!

Don't forget that Dunwoody Springs is currently collecting plastic bags for the third grade PBL! Let's continue to help them reach their goal! Please send in grocery bags, sandwich baggies, etc., and the kids will add them to the collection boxes!

If you are looking for a great website to inspire curiosity look no further!  wOnDeRoPoLis is a great website of submitted wonders.  Explore with your student to find out if bulls hate the color red, how our voices are like fingerprints, and why our blood appears blue inside our bodies, but red outside (to name a few!).


Happy wondering!
