Our eighth grade students had a great trip to the state Capitol yesterday! State Representative Bobbie Harder was able to speak with the students about her work as a legislator. Students also got to participate in a mock debate on whether or not they felt social media should have more parental restrictions. So cool!

Students in first grade had been preparing for the eclipse in STEAM class. While it was too cloudy to see it outside they watched the live stream instead. They also created a model of the eclipse, using their head as the earth, a marble as the moon, and the classroom clock as the sun!

Fourth graders were learning about Pangea, which happens to be a topic that Ian in second grade is very passionate about. He has been fascinated with Pangea and has done a lot of research which he put into a PowerPoint to share with the class. He did a great job and it was a wonderful way to make learning fun!
