News from Ms. Hess
Our Iowa County Naturalist, Caitlyn Savage, visited us today to teach us about the history of archery and to give us a hands on experience. We all had the opportunity to shoot a bow and arrow!
In addition, we were invited to walk with our friends at Colonial Manor to raise awareness for Alzheimer's disease as a community outreach activity. They kindly shared delicious cookies and ginger ale after our walk.
Your child also brought home a letter with information about a math game that they LOVE to play called Prodigy. They were able to update their accounts today so as to save last year's progress. Prodigy is a wonderfully engaging way for kids to practice math at home! See the link below for more information.

Please send your child an email with an electronic image of his/her family, him/herself, and pets (if applicable) for next week. You may want to inquire what other "big ideas" your child would want to have images shared. Your child's email address is:
