Memphis recently took a tour of the new S.T.E.A.M. Lab. He was challenged by Mr. Waidelich to come up with a way for the blades to turn more independently than the current rubber band method. Memphis has already put some ideas on paper, and is excited to participate in this cross-curricular learning opportunity.
Last week, preschool through 5th grade learned about #InternationalDotDay
Mrs. Lammers read “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds to each class, and the students got to be creative in the Library.
The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe.

Today, Mrs. Pennington welcomed Elise into her “kitchen” - The Dollar Diner. The lesson was an “interview” for counting change. They talked about the importance of being able to make the correct change to ensure that both the customer and the business have the right amount. Way to make learning fun, Mrs. Pennington!
