Junior Achievement with Ms. Siegel
Ms. Siegel will be coming to the classroom every Friday to do some lessons through Junior Achievement. Her lesson taught the students about how there are five zones-industrial, residential, manufacturing, agriculture, and business. Students were given a pop-up building to name and color too. Once they were done coloring their building, they had to decide which zone to put their building.
Valentine Party
Thanks to Melissa Hartung, Whitney Sibley and Shelly Trotter for organizing the craft, games and getting the food for the students. The students had a ton of fun along with a ton of sugar. It was a success that is for sure!!
