Congratulations to Flat Rock Robotics for placing fourth out of twenty four teams at todayβs Anderson Institute of Technology competition. They also won the Judges Award. The Judges Award is presented to a team that the Judges determine is deserving of special recognition. Judges consider a number of possible criteria for this award, such as team displays of special attributes, exemplary effort and perseverance at the event, or team
accomplishments or endeavors throughout the season that may not fit under existing awards but are nonetheless deserving of special recognition.. This team has qualified for the state competition. We are proud of these students and their coach, Lisa Bradford.

What better way to wrap up a unit on penguins than to have a 1st grade race... penguin style! π§
After spending time researching types of penguins, digging deeper with vocabulary, and creating nonfiction books about penguins, our 1st grade students decided to hold a race from the point of view of a penguin. Instead of racing on foot, students used their bellies to slide across the gym floor on scooters, propelling themselves with their "flippers"; also known as tobogganing.
Each class was awarded with a platinum, gold, silver, or bronze medal for their great efforts in the FRES Penguin Olympics. π
Multilingual Learners will be participating in ACCESS testing this week at Flat Rock Elementary School.
