Today in science we learned how tools can be useful when making observations.  Today we started just using our memory and trying to draw the back of the dime.  Then we looked at it for a few minutes and then tried again.  Finally we looked at the dime with a magnifying glass and drew the back for a third time.  We talked about how our observations changed and why.  Look at some of their work. 

I wanted to send some important reminders for next week:

1. Monday, 9/2 is a school holiday and school will be closed.  Enjoy!

2. Tuesday, 9/3 is "Independence Day" at Cannon!  This means that all of our Cannon scholars will no longer require a parent to escort them to class in the morning.  Please discuss this important milestone with your student(s), so they will be prepared to enter school on their own and find their own way to their classroom.  We will have lots of staff available to assist students as needed.  We are proud of how our Cannon Cubs have become independent so quickly!  Thank you for your support!

3. Also beginning on 9/3, all campus offices will begin utilizing our new security system, Raptor.  Information about this system has been sent home previously, but please be prepared to present your Texas driver's license to office staff when visiting the campus for lunch or to volunteer.

Have a wonderful long weekend!
