This past week in Mrs.Davitt’s class, students started their pumpkin jack science experiment! They started by reading the story Pumpkin Jack, then voted on the eyes, nose, and mouth of their own classroom pumpkin jack! Students then predicted in their journals what he will look like in 20 days!

Introducing Find Out Friday! 🎉 Each week, we’ll ask our students, teachers, and staff a new question and share their answers.

This week’s question: What is your favorite fall activity? 🍂

We had a little trouble with our mic this week. If your student recorded an answer but doesn’t see their video, we’re so sorry and we look forward to hearing their answer to future questions!

Happy National Coaches Day to our Instructional Coach, Mrs. Phillips! 🐝💛

🌿🌧 A little rain and mud couldn’t stop the fun! Mrs. Julseth’s and Mrs. Seifried’s classes enjoyed a field trip to Kuehn Conservation Area!

Students learned about the Ioway Tribe and what a traditional powwow looks like. They also had the opportunity to play Native American drums, try shooting a bow, and learn how to start a fire. 🥁🔥🏹

Despite the rainy, muddy conditions, students had a wonderful time learning and exploring together. What a memorable adventure beyond the classroom!

🦋 A big send-off for some tiny travelers!

On Friday, our first graders, along with their teachers, released 12 butterflies in their final release of the year. This fall, they’ve raised and released almost 60 butterflies from caterpillars!

Led by Mrs. Roegiers, our young researchers have been busy learning what butterflies eat, finding milkweed for the caterpillars to munch on, watching helping tag the butterflies, and researching their migration patterns to Mexico. 🌎 Along the way, they watched the caterpillars form chrysalises and emerge as beautiful butterflies!

From caring for caterpillars to watching butterflies take flight, our Shuler students experienced how curiosity, research, and care can help us learn about the natural world. What a memorable way to bring science to life! 🦋🐛

🥝 Small fruit, big discovery! This month’s TryDay Friday featured KIWI BERRIES!

🎥 Watch our video to see Shuler students give these little fruits a try and share their reactions!

A few fun facts about kiwi berries:
💚 They’re about the size of a grape.
💚 Their smooth, edible skin means no peeling needed!
💚 They taste similar to fuzzy kiwis, but are often a little sweeter.

Trying new foods helps students explore different flavors and textures, build curiosity, and discover more foods they enjoy. Every taste is a chance to find a new favorite and also to learn it’s okay if a food isn’t a favorite yet!

Did your student try kiwi berries? What did they think? Tell us below! 👇
