At the View Acres garden, lessons about ecology come to life!
Recently, our fifth graders dove into a hands-on game that brought the concept of a food web to life. As they connected plants, animals, and energy in the ecosystem, you could see the “aha” moments start to click.
Afterward, they got their hands in the soil—planting carrots and exploring the garden beds!
We’ve all been there—lumbering into a Friday morning, just trying to survive the final stretch before the weekend. But at View Acres Elementary, Ms. Rumohr has found a way to trade those morning yawns for high-octane energy.
Every Friday, students and staff are greeted by a raucous hallway dance party the moment they step through the door. "It’s controlled chaos at best," Ms. Rumohr laughs, "but it really gets us going for the day."
The music-filled hallway becomes an open dance floor for everyone. While there’s still no official consensus on who holds the title of "Best Dancer in School," there is certainly no shortage of creative moves on display. When it comes to the playlist, Ms. Rumohr stays true to the hits, affirming that "the classics are best."
This weekly tradition gets the heart pumping and shakes off morning grogginess, priming the brain to engage with the day’s learning through positive social connection. It’s more than just a party—it’s an upbeat reason to say, "TGIF!"
