Congratulations to Mrs Kahls class for completing the breakfast quest and being crowned the winners. The "Ladies of lunch" were glad to see new faces joining for breakfast and hope you all enjoyed the new recipes .
🍀 Miss Seely’s Kindergarten tried to trap a leprechaun today! 🍀
We worked together to build a giant classroom leprechaun trap, using lots of teamwork and communication to decide what might work best. We talked about cause and effect while designing the trap and thinking about what would actually catch that sneaky leprechaun.
The class even incorporated writing by leaving notes on the trap to try and trick him into coming inside! Along the way, we also had a great conversation about money when we talked about his pot of gold.
Unfortunately… the leprechaun was a little too clever for us. He escaped and left quite the mess behind after taking all of our gold on the way out! 😆
Nice try, sneaky leprechaun… we almost had you!👏🍀

Mr. Mueller visited Ms. Spudich’s Physic’s class this week. He had some great experiments to unpack with her class. It is always wonderful to have our retired teachers return to share their expertise and passions with our students.
