Mrs. Bales' 1st grade class went on a super fun treasure hunt on My Day Friday all around the school grounds. It led them to their "treasure" of ice cream at We 3 Coffee & Deli. We would like to thank Nan for the great service and delicious ice cream!
For MyDay Friday, the 4th grade class learned about the "E" in STEM, engineering. They were introduced to the four main types of engineering and examples of jobs in these areas. They also got to be engineers themselves by working with partners to try and build the tallest toothpick tower with mini marshmallows.
5th grade artists did a great job completing their The Real Me mixed media self portrait project. They illustrated not only their physical appearance but created drawings and words to collage and communicate who they are on the inside as well.

For My Day Friday the kindergarten class read Scribble Stones by Diane Alber! It is a story about a happy little stone that dreams of being something amazing. After we read the story we got to paint our own rocks and then, we hid them throughout Dufur! If you happen to find one of our awesome rocks, you’ll notice there is a number on the bottom. That number will tell the class whose rock was found. Now for the fun part! We would like to get to know our community! So if you find a rock, could you please send a short note to the Dufur School telling us a couple of important things:
1. What number is on your rock?
2. Your name
3. How long have you lived in Dufur?
4. What is your favorite thing about Dufur?
We love getting mail in kindergarten, and this is a fun way to get to know our community! Thank you so much for helping our class with this project!
