Peanut/tree nut allergy:  A student in Strawberry Creek is highly allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.  A note will be sent out with more details soon.  Please help us by either not sending nut/peanut products, or to be sure your child knows if they have nut products in their lunch or snack.  Thank you for your help with this.

 Working with partners Strawberry students used a world map and introductory knowledge of latitude and longitude to solve coordinate problems.

One problem required use of a globe.  What do you notice about 180º East of the Prime Meridian and 180º West of the Prime Meridian?

 Hopes & Dreams:  After a discussion about what qualifies as a hope as opposed to a dream, the students planned hopes for the coming year about family, friends, school, and their personal life.  There was agreement that a hope was something you could possibly achieve, and a dream might not be possible, but is exciting to think about.  The next step was to create a "hopes cube."  Each side of the cube sharing a symbol about a hope for the year.
