Reminder to wear your colorful socks tomorrow!! 🧦
Kindergarten had an udderly amazing time on our field trip to Marcoot Jersey Creamery! 🐄
We learned how cheese and ice cream are made, watched workers package dog cheese treats through the factory windows, and even got to taste some delicious samples (which were a big hit!). Students also discovered how farmers keep track of their cows and learned all about the milking process.
To top it off, we met and petted some adorable baby calves—definitely a moo-velous highlight of the day!
It was a day full of learning, laughter, and a whole lot of happy little farmers in the making! 🐄✨
The Book Fair is just days away! The Fair encourages students to read AND it raises much-needed funds for our school. The easiest way for kids to pay is with an eWallet. Create one for your child so they can shop cash free and independently! 📚

🍀 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.
