Kindergarten had the perfect day at the pumpkin patch - Tractor rides, barrel train, corn maze, exploration centers, of course the playground!
Our October Second and Fifth Grade Buddy activity included making fall houses. Buddies worked side by side to support and synergize while creating the roofs, doors, windows and decor to make their paper bag houses delightfully falllish. Students showed great creativity and diversity in their work. Can't wait to see what we do for our November buddy time.
November 2nd times still available!
There are still openings for Parent/Teacher Conferences on November 2nd. Please either contact the office at 715-261-0965 or the teacher if you are interested in blocking a time.
Miss Lor and her sister, Sarah, gave us hats and gloves for the cold weather. It was very nice of them. They are being very compassionate.
By Abby Wiltzius and Jace Manteuffel
First graders went to the school forest and learned about insects. We observed them with magnifying glasses and microscopes. We learned about animals in the museum and even felt some fur pelts. We enjoyed a family style lunch of turkey of gravy. Then, we built sailboats using real hammers and nails! It was so much fun to see them race down the river.
