All District 54 schools & offices will be closed on Wednesday, February 12, due to the forecasted winter weather conditions. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for 9 a.m Wednesday to 3 a.m. Thursday with 4-7 inches for our area. Although most of students would be at school by 9 a.m., we also consider whether the roads will be safe for their return home after school.

Tomorrow is a traditional school closure day, not an e-learning day. As a reminder, although the District 54 School Board approved an e-learning plan for severe weather days, the first two emergency days are traditional school closures.

Our number one priority every day is keeping children safe. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Happy Halloween from the Durchslag Den!

Today was a peak moment for the Durchslag Den as we put our learning into action and dissected f***l matter (fake of course) to identify the microorganisms within it. The ultimate goal of this activity was to determine if the sample was a viable sample for a f***l transplant to help cure their “patient.” Students used math, science information and their understanding of good and bad gut bacteria to help them make their recommendation. The next step will be to use their data and research to write up a formal recommendation.

The Durchslag Den started our 3rd science unit focusing on rock transformations. Students took on the role of geologists to record observations of different types of rock found on Earth to learn to be detailed in their observations.

We are writing a letter to the ruler of our “civilization” to share our thoughts on the best form of government to protect our “civilization.” Prior to this, we researched forms of ancient civilization government and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages.” We also compared the form of government we chose to other forms to support our reasoning!

We explored what a community is & similarities/differences from a group! Students then looked at characteristics of the Schaumburg area to further explore what it means to belong to a community. This is an intro to our unit on government & social structure!

It was a great day to join the Durchslag Den for PE class for their PBIS reward! It was so much fun playing one on one with several students and making some baskets! 🏀
