Reading Rockstars
Congratulations to Brooklyn Moore and Maddox Rauch for receiving this week’s “Reading Rockstar of the Week” recognitions from Mrs. Ariens.
Brooklyn has a very kind heart and shows respect to others. She takes responsibility for her work in Reading and Science. We enjoy having her in class!
Maddox emulates positivity and joy in the classroom. He is well liked by others and is often seen smiling at others in the hallways, and Mrs. Ariens' appreciates his hard work in Reading class!

During a photosynthesis unit, Mrs. Ariens’ Science classes experimented with microscopes and leaves to observe, describe, and collaborate. Even though the microscopes didn’t work completely as expected, students pushed through and did their best.

Students worked on plate tectonics boundaries lab today in Mrs. Schneider's 7th grade science by using graham crackers, fruit strips, and frosting.
