One of Cindy’s Goings On… Botany Workshop:
This workshop had a wonderful field trip to Olbrich Gardens on Madison’s East Side. It is a wonderful place to visit, and everyone had a great time. Many of the trees were flowering, and the spring flowers, including tulips, were blooming in abundance! The field trip was a wonderful way to see and experience in person the plant anatomy and diverse world of botany!
Geometry
This week in Geometry we tested our toothpick bridges. The scholars didn’t predict that these bridges made out of toothpicks and elmers glue would hold much weight. To our surprise a few of these bridges held 20 pounds!

JAG
JAG participants have been doing quite a bit of adult-ing and career exploration in the month of April! With four field trips to Teddy’s Place, and one to Reality Rocks, students have focused on developing skills in childcare, education, financial literacy, and economics. For those who do not know, Reality Rocks requires students to do intensive academic preparation and then go into a fast-paced environment to practice those skills. Students learn things like: how to budget, what to do if your income changes, the challenges of finding and paying for childcare, and so much more. Students had to interact with dozens of community businesses through these events, sharpening their skills in communication and professionalism. At Teddy’s Place, students learned about the field of childcare, its importance in our community, and learned different techniques for interacting with preschool-aged children. HUGE thank you to Teddy’s Place, who hosted our students for a total of 16 hours and HUGE shout-out to our students who made it all the way through Reality Rocks!!
Bus Information
Reminders For Morning Bus Riders
As cold and snowy weather is upon us, here are a few reminders for students riding the bus in the mornings:
Arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled pick up time.
Wait on the sidewalk or close to the curb if there aren’t sidewalks. Stay out of the road and others’ yards.
Don’t cross the road until the driver signals and the bus comes to a complete stop before attempting to board.
Students must have their bus tag with them when riding the bus. Replacement bus tags can be picked up at the school. A photo of the bus tag on their cell phone is acceptable. Students may be denied if they don’t have a bus tag and the driver doesn’t recognize them.
