Student Achievment

Phase 1 is Off to a Great Start!

It is so great to be back in school and playing with our friends and making new friends. We have been learning about keeping our germs away, washing our hands, and how important it is to wear our masks. We enjoy playing and getting to read outside!

Kindergarteners Explore Weather

Mrs. Schwegman's Kindergarten class was having fun learning about weather. They created a rain cloud in a jar which gave the students a chance to explore clouds and rain in a hands-on and engaging way! They created a cloud by squirting shaving cream into the top of a water filled jar. They saturated the "cloud" with droplets of food coloring to represent the rain. Once the "cloud" became too heavy, it began to "rain" and sprinkled down into the jar of water. It was so cool! Now we know why clouds get dark before they rain!

Mrs. Toth's Classes Celebrate International Dot Day

Mrs. Toth’s students spent the week celebrating International Dot Day by listening to the story The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. The boys and girls then used their growth mindsets to create a “fill in the dot” project on their computers for computer class. Thank You to all of the families for your help. Mrs. Toth loves all of your masterpieces.

Climate and Culture

Art with a Purpose

For Mrs. Pfaeffli's first art assignment in First Grade, students began making a "LIVE" sign. The sign can be on display to let others know when students are actively engaged in a class. When it is finished, students will be able to hang their sign with tape or string in their Virtual Learning Environment! Students will understand that some art can be made and used.
