Math & Science Connection 
Beginning Edition                            
   
Parents can help their child(ren) understand-and enjoy math & science. For instance, at school, your youngster is learning early algebra skills. With these ideas, he/she will enjoy playing with algebra after school, too. Working with patterns of objects will help your child see patterns in numbers-a basic principle of algebra.

Grades 3, 4, 5 - Student Leadership Teams 

A new group has formed this winter - Los representantes de PSI!

This is a student leadership team formed from students in grades 3, 4, & 5.  This is a student lead leadership team that is working to improve our community.  Each grade level has taken on a project:
  • Third grade is organizing an indoor recess game cart.  Do you have gently used cards, board games, coloring books, etc. that you'd like to donate?  If yes, please send them with your child to school, or drop them off in the school office.
  • Fourth grade is working on an Art Fair.  See more information below.
  • Fifth grade is creating a newspaper.

We are very excited about these opportunities!
