This week we celebrated the life and teachings of Martin Luther King Jr.  Each year  all the classes at Angell hear the same read aloud in preparation for our all school assembly (which will be held this coming Tuesday).  This year we read "I Have a Dream".  We also heard some stories from past years this week:

 



Tristan also shared his Junior Ranger badge from the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site!



This week Amelia celebrated her birthday by showing us a dinosaur robot she built at home!



Amelia's dad came in on Friday to teach us about his job at  Ford!  We learned a lot about the many safety tests that are performed on cars, as well as new features that make cars safer.  
Thank you, Mr. Wu!




This week Tristan celebrated his half birthday by showing some magic tricks!
