Last week our first grade students were tasked with building an enclosure to keep an egg from breaking when dropped. The students did a great job designing and building their enclosures using a variety of materials, and we are happy to report that the majority of the eggs survived the drop!
Preschool students also enjoyed hunting for eggs last week!
Our preschool students enjoyed coloring eggs last week!
Some of our third and fourth grade students competed in Battle of the Books last week. These students read multiple chapter books and then traveled to the AEA to compete against other local schools. Delwood sent one third grade team and three fourth grade teams. Our third grade team placed second, and our fourth grade teams placed second, third and seventh. Great job!
Reminder: There is no school on April 14, 15, 18 and 19. Have a great Spring Break!

These students were caught showing good character in Guidance during the month of March. Keep up the good work!
Students were able to enjoy some extra time outside earlier this week when the weather was nice. The sixth grade class spent their music class outdoors learning about Renaissance Era music.
We had some pretty special visitors earlier this week, who also happen to be former Delwood students. Our students thought it was pretty cool to have these guys in the building!

Our preschoolers chose to make Mr. Marshall's hair look like a rainbow! He requested that they be the ones to color his hair and they did a great job! Thanks again to everyone who donated to our Kleenex drive - our classrooms will be stocked for quite some time!
998!
That is the number of boxes of Kleenex we collected! One of our preschool classes brought in 281 boxes and they have decided what color Mr. Marshall's hair will be. Thank you to everyone who sent Kleenex -- we are so appreciative to have such a supportive community!
