⚡ It's Electric! ⚡
Our 5th graders are becoming junior scientists as they test different materials to see which ones conduct electricity! 🔬💡 Through hands-on experimenting, students will make predictions, test their ideas, and discover which materials help electricity flow. Science is shocking—in the best way! 😊

Art Club - Just a reminder, Art Club will be held today after school in the art room until 3:45pm.
Soccer - The Channahon Soccer team completed their season on a high winning their last 2 games. Last Thursday the Indians played Coal City and won 3-1. The Indians ended their year well. Congratulations to the team that never quit, even when winning came so late in the season!
Wacky Fact Wednesday! - It's time for Wacky Fact Wednesday! Did you know crocodiles can’t stick out their tongues? Their tongues are held in place by a special membrane. So if you ever get into a staring contest with a crocodile, feel free to stick your tongue out at him. He literally can’t do anything about it. Well… except eat you. So maybe don’t do that.

Thursday Thought - In the United States, September 17 is a special day known as Constitution Day, commemorating (or remembering) the signing of the U.S. Constitution in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. This week’s Thursday Thought connects yesterday’s Crew celebration with the first few words of the Constitution: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…”
Those words remind us that building something great takes everyone working together and doing their part to make their community better. So, what if we changed those famous words to “We the People of TRS…”? What can YOU do today to help make our school community “more perfect” than it was yesterday?
Student Council - Attention 6th grade student council members who turned in an application to Mrs. Gaffino. A reminder that our first meeting will be held today in Ms. Garcia’s room until 3:45. Please make sure you bring your Chromebook. Thanks!

Our students have been enjoying a wonderful firsthand look at the life cycle of a butterfly! They’ve watched with excitement as a tiny caterpillar grew, formed a chrysalis, and began its amazing transformation.

Students in the Math and Science Club are putting their creativity and problem-solving skills to work by building and racing their very own hovercrafts! Using science, math, and engineering principles, students are designing, testing, and improving their robots to see how well they can glide across different surfaces. This hands-on project gives students the opportunity to experiment, work as a team, and have fun while exploring STEM concepts in action.
Today is Patriot Day. We remember and honor the victims and heroes of September 11, 2001.
