Today, Mrs. Hoffmire's class had a special surprise in the Library. Ms. Martie, Children's Librarian from the Archbold Community Library, read a wonderful book and introduced them to her friend, Elvis! 🐓 Our library has partnered to be able to offer ACL library cards to our kindergarteners, so they can take advantage of additional books, programming and the summer reading program. Thank you so much for joining us today, Ms. Martie! 📚



This week Chad Aeschliman, owner of Gerig Eavespouting, shared with Mrs. Wixom's 3rd-graders about the goods and services he provides to the consumer. We learned a great deal about economics in the real world from Ty’s dad! Thanks for coming in, Mr. Aeschliman!

Mrs. Holsopple's 2nd-graders did a fantastic job on their Valentine's boxes and Mrs. Wise's PM preschoolers enjoyed a Valentine's scavenger hunt!




Mrs. Wixom's 3rd grade have been learning about importing and exporting as well as the difference between goods and services. Yesterday, Elise's parents came in to talk about what they do.
Thank you, Dr. Katie and Mr. Jesse Jimenez for coming in to talk about your jobs and how you provide goods and/or services to others! They both did an excellent job using the economic vocabulary that third graders have been studying. Thank you for an engaging and informative lesson on economics in the real world!
