Every other Tuesday, we go into the Makerspace room to get our creative juices flowing! Thank you to Mrs. Pfaff for providing this time for our kids

The ooos and ahs you hear from the class during the VR experience about polar bears and the arctic is amazing! I did not even get the best ones!

Some of the kids asked if I had a magnifying glass so they could look at the snowflakes on the window instead of Reflex Math. Of course, why not! The ooo's and ahhs were wonderful to hear.

To conclude our Reading story about Helen Keller, we Zoom called Mrs. Nesbit who described her job as a sign language interpreter. The kids also learned a few new words.

Every Friday for Morning Meeting, the kids get to be creative using their STEM Boxes. They love it! Someday they may be a regular morning work thing.

Our class had their first Counselor class today! They got to know more about Mrs. Holcomb and Lola, our therapy dog. She also read 'Mrs. Joyce Gives The Best High Fives.'

Looking for a cool lesson online? Be sure to join us on Facebook Live every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30-1:45 p.m. for KWCH WEATHER SCHOOL! The KWCH Weather Team is here to teach you and your kids about all kinds of cool weather topics. You won't want to miss it!

Book Fair week coming up the week after Spring Break!

Some pictures of the new Meadowlark! We cannot wait until the day we move in!

As part of our PBL unit, our kids got to take a Zumba lesson thanks to Andover YMCA. They had a blast trying to keep up with the instructor and jamming to the music.
