Thank you Katy for a fun morning at the Art Center! Parents as Teachers had a fun morning making flowers in anticipation of Spring!

Second graders at Colorado are learning how to use online and print dictionaries. They learned about what a dictionary is, how it can help them, and how to use them. Then they finished the lesson by collaborating to complete a fun St. Patrick's Day scavenger hunt.

This week 4th and 5th grade EL students at Franklin went to the Herbert Hoover Museum to watch the theater performance about the Underground Railroad. We also toured the museum and learned a lot about Herbert Hoover our 31st President.

Franklin 3-5 Student Leadership Team students taught a lesson in the kindergarten-2nd grade classrooms this week. After reviewing expectations, students signed the "WE LEAD" poster as a promise to follow leadership expectations.

Jefferson students enjoyed the guest readers on Read Across America day!

4th & 5th grade yoga club at Mckinley is an optional club students can choose to be in instead of going outside for recess every Thursday. Students get to play Yoga games, work on different ways to use mindfulness to breathe & self-soothe with Mrs. Phelps.

This week's MHS Work Experience Trainee of the Week is senior Isaac Banuelos. Isaac is currently training at the Kum&Go store, located at 1429 Park Avenue, where he has been experiencing the operations of a modern-day 24 hr convenience store. Pictured with Isaac is General Manager Heather Koenig who has been working for Kum&Go in Muscatine for thirteen years.

We would like to thank Heather and the staffs at both of the Muscatine Kum&Go store locations for providing a clean and comfortable place for our students to learn. Kum&Go has been a great place for our students to gain employability skills while providing for the food, fuel, and beverage needs of the Muscatine community for many years.
