Fun Art Project

This is the first step that we did in a really fun art project. The next step is to have the sculptures painted. Thanks to all the volunteers that came in to help.

Science Museum

Today the science museum came to do a presentation on the brain. It was very interesting. Ask your child about what they learned!

Fun Recess

Might be tough to believe but we were able to build this for in only 20 minutes today at recess. Have a fun and safe break!!!

Concert Day!!

Working with our high school teacher leaders

Once a week high school students come and work with our students. This week they have started working with small groups of students with focused learning. The students learned about sculpture, drawing, research about opossums, and team work. Great job everyone!

Desk cleaning

I think it has been couple weeks.  All I can say is "wow".

Becoming Engineers for the Day

Yesterday we started to get prepared for the video conference that we are doing with the Minnesota Zoo today.  We are getting pretty excited.  The activity we did yesterday was a challenge where we had to create a part of a zoo enclosure for a stuffed animal in the classroom.  This poor animal lived in an enclosure with alligators so we had to create a safe place  for that animal to live.  The rules were that the thing they built had to be 12 inches high and the stuffed animal had to be able to sit or lay on top to be safe. The supplies that the kids got were about 50 index cards and 12 inches of tape.  It was a very tough challenge.  We had a good time with it and learned a lot about engineering.
