Halloween Party & Parade

Per Dr. Shisler, our Halloween party & parade will be rescheduled for this Friday, 11/2 due to the very wet school grounds. If you have any treats or costumes that were going to come in on Wednesday, please hold onto those for Friday. Thank you!!!

Australian Stanleys

Our Australian "exchange Stanleys" have arrived! Your family's Stanley will come home today. Please be sure to read the accompanying letters (one from me, one from Stanley's friend in Australia) and to keep track of Stanley's activity on his or her log. These Stanleys are due back to school on Friday, November 2nd.

Science & Imagination

It is absolutely amazing to think of things that humans are able to accomplish with science and imagination. This video is a little heavy on the "Red Bull" product placement, but Felix Baumgartner's supersonic leap is an amazing and inspiring feat.

Felix jumped from an altitude of 128,100 feet. At this height, the temperature outside of the capsule was as low as a staggering -70 degrees F. His maximum free fall speed was 833 mph, officially becoming to the first person to break the sound barrier without a vehicle. The free fall lasted 4 minutes and 20 seconds before he deployed his parachute to land safely on the ground near Roswell, New Mexico.

I wonder what our future scientists, engineers, and leaders, right here in first grade, will accomplish that will leave us all speechless in the future....
