Can you believe November is just around the corner? It seems like just yesterday we were beginning the new school year. Last Tuesday we had our STEM night. More than sixty kids and adults enjoyed Science, Technology, Engineering and Math activities. The activities included deciphering a genetic code, public health and drinking water, eating (jelly) brains, collecting video game data, testing your senses, powering a wind generator, juggling inventory, and making wicked airplanes.

We have had an exciting 2 weeks! Between Curriculum night, Islandwood for our 5th graders, a Kindergarten and First Grade trip to Seattle Children Theater, a visit from author/illustrator Yuyi Morales, and a first and second grade trip to the Ballard Locks, the students at McDonald International have been busy learning both in and out of the classroom.
