Fourth Grade had an amazing time on our field trip. We went to the Coronado Theatre to see Yamato the drummers of Japan. Students also learned about different types of drums and how they were made.

First grade ended our unit on The History of the Earth with a fossil and gem dig as well as making our own "fossils" out of clay. During this unit, we also learned about the layers of the Earth, volcanoes and geysers, and how dinosaurs once ruled the Earth. They had so much fun being paleontologists and geologists during this unit!

Third grade ended our Light & Sound unit with an Escape Room. Students had to listen carefully to guess the pitch, guess the sound, read secret messages with mirrors, use magnifying glasses, and read with invisible ink. Such a fun way to wrap up all that they had learned!

Fifth grade students are diving into the world of Renaissance! To experience what it was like for Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel, they tried their hand at drawing upside down—right under their desks!

Kindergarten spent several weeks learning all about Native Americans and their life many years ago. They spent a lot of time learning all about the resources found among the land including the many uses of buffalo. We made buffalo vests and teepees.
