Club activities resumed this week at Rankin. However, because this rotation will only last through March, we decided to let the students switch clubs each week and encourage them to try something new. Science Club ran several experiments with gasses while the Popped Art Club earned how to grout tile by making drink coasters.

Wednesday’s Rankin Olympics also saw the start of our new fitness program. Every grade will rotate through several stations; exercise, sports, and team building. The next few weeks we will be teaching the students the proper way to stretch and exercise as well as basic skills necessary for several sports.

The fourth graders tried to untie themselves from a Human Knot. We wrapped up the week with a field trip to the Flint Public Library for Reading Month. The younger children enjoyed story time with one of the librarians, while the older grades were given a guided tour. Every child filled out an application for a library card which will be sent to their homes this week!
