2nd grade was hard at work this morning digging the potatoes they planted last spring. They also helped to clean off cucumber and lemon cucumber vines that got a little frost last week.
The 5th graders have been learning about the hardware of our 3D printer. They have also been learning about the software used to design with it. After learning some of the basics, the 5th graders are working in small groups to design fish hides for their aquaponics set up.
Our 6th grade students start their day by helping to care for all of the critters in the CELL including our dart frogs, aquatic frogs, axolotl, beta fish, and saltwater aquarium. This morning some second graders got to help!
Second grade students exploring with Ozobots during Innovation Club. They created free-draw tracks to use to code, and they also learned to code these bots with their iPads.
Over the weekend Coach and Ms.Brood ran a race at Lime Creek Nature Center!
3rd grade has been explored balanced and unbalanced forces in science and innovation club! Students worked with partners to create a mini ping pong ball run with Legos. Then used force (pushes and pulls) to move their ping pong balls through. Next students had to work together to connect all of their mini runs. Today was testing day! Students worked with a partner to move a ping pong ball through the run! Students made predictions about the ball’s movement. They also made adjustments as a class to improve the run! It was aMAZing!
Happy Homecoming!! Go Bulldogs!!

1st grade enjoyed finishing up there parachutes in innovation club yesterday! There challenge was to build a parachute that will hold and egg and not break on cement. Hopefully will test these next week!
Mrs. Meyer and Jace were supporting the Vikings today for Team Day!
4 year old preschool has been learning about nursery rhymes as part of their reading curriculum. They are getting really good at saying the rhymes AND doing all of the motions!
Kindergarten has been learning about trees and leaves in science so today they got to make leaf rubbings!
Beak testing continued!
4th grade put a lot of research and time into designing a beak that worked well for a specific food source, and today they were able to start testing them. They were given a real example of their specific food source (or something very similar…) and had to figure out how successful their design was. They talked about what worked well and how and why they might make changes. Overall they had to determine if their design would help the bird survive! The rest of 4th grade will test tomorrow!
