Zoo Mobile Visits the Elementary By Tregen Jensen, Addyson Orth, & Remie Roduner
The Bull Python snake feels like a gardening hose. A Madagascar Hissing beetle is the strongest beetle alive. Another fact is that the Eastern Screeching owl's eyes can't move around so that's why its head can turn 90% around its body. So as you can see K-6th grade had a good time with the zoo mobile coming.

Book Review by Nichelle Kruse
Wings of fire!
The Dragonets Prophecy
(book 1)
It’s a story about five dragons. Their names are Clay, Tsunami, Starflight, Glory, and Sunny. The dragon types of the the land called Pyrrhia is Sand wings, Rain wings,Sky wings,Mud wings, Night wings,Sea wings,and Ice wings. These names symbolize the dragons type of home, rainwings live in rainforests. Your main characters are being raised in a cave. They hate it and plan to escape! It’s a great story that keeps you hanging on every word. I highly suggest it though the school doesn’t have book #5. I included the cover of book 1 with this story.
First Grade Dab! Shared by Mrs. Krueger
Mrs. Krueger shared this story and picture of her students with their parents and me. I thought I'd share it in the WSES NEWS
Mrs. Krueger, "Our vowel sound this week was the short a. I read a story to them called, “The Bad Crab Dabs Ham and Jam on a Trap.” When I asked what dab meant, most moved their arms to dab. So, we discussed the other meaning of dab, a small amount, but I told them we could take a picture of their dab. Enjoy. ~ Mrs. Krueger
