Thanks to Bubba Iverson for generously lending us his incubator and eggs, our students are getting a hands-on look at the life cycle of a chicken as part of our Knowledge curriculum.
All three second grade classes had the opportunity to watch as Bubba demonstrated how to candle the eggs and observe the movement inside. It was an amazing experience to see life developing right before our eyes ๐
We currently have 25 eggs in the incubator and canโt wait to welcome our chicks during the last week of the month ๐ฅ
Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to hatch day ๐

As I made their root beer floats ๐ฅค๐ฆ, students shared what type of matter was in each step. Then they made predictions about what would happen when we combined a solid (ice cream) and a liquid (root beer). ๐ค
As we observed, students noticed how a gas formed with bubbles and foam! ๐จ๐ซง
Many said it was their favorite experiment yet. It was a fun and tasty way to celebrate all their learning about matter! ๐๐








Unfortunately, no one was able to catch Lucky the Leprechaun, but he sure had fun causing some mischief in our classroom ๐ He left behind tiny footprints, made a BIG mess in the classroom, and even swapped out the gold coin in their traps for a green one! ๐ชโก๏ธ๐
Luckily, he was also very kind, he left each student in Mrs. Smith's classroom a special treat on their desk, including a mini leprechaun hat ๐ฉ, green Ring Pop ๐, a shamrock necklace โ๏ธ, and a chocolate gold coin ๐ซ
It was a fun and exciting day for everyone! ๐





From planning and creating to testing their designs, this activity sparked creativity and problem solving in the best way ๐ ๏ธ๐ก
We love seeing learning come to life like this ๐









After learning about the voting process and holding their own election, kindergarteners decided who would win recess duty and a dance party with the class. The candidates were the squirrel and Superintendent Mrs. Padgett.
The votes were counted and the squirrel won! ๐๐ฟ๏ธ
Mrs. Padgett still earned a respectable 4 votes.
To celebrate, the class enjoyed a fun squirrel dance party full of smiles, laughter, and great moves.
Learning and fun make the best kind of day! ๐๐บ




Miss Dakota Angell brought a little 3rd grade magic to the office as she taught our staff all about Addition Pyramids! From problem solving to a few โaha!โ moments, it was a fun reminder that learning never stops, no matter your age.
We loved getting a glimpse into the creativity and excitement happening in our classrooms every day. Thank you, Miss Angell, for the lesson and for keeping us on our toes! ๐

Throughout the month of February, high school students from Ms. Harrisโs class spent every Friday teaching our 4th grade students all about dairy. Their lessons came to life with a recent visit to Iverson Dairy Farm, where students were able to see firsthand how a dairy farm operates and learn more about the important role agriculture plays in our community.
After touring the farm, our group stopped by D9 Market to enjoy some well earned ice cream, the perfect way to wrap up a day centered around dairy. Thank you to D9 Market for serving our entire โherdโ of students. They handled us wonderfully!
A very special thank you to Iverson Dairy Farm, and to Luke and Megan Iverson for hosting us and sharing their time and expertise. We are especially grateful for their continued support of our schools and community.
We also want to recognize Ms. Harris and her high school students for the time and effort they invested in teaching and mentoring our 4th graders. What a great example of students learning from students! Be sure to check out the high schoolโs page as well. They have shared photos from their adventures, too.
We will be sharing a short YouTube video of highlights from the trip along with photos. Thank you to Mrs. Smith, Ms. Harris, and Miss Dickinson for capturing these special moments!

Our students reached their goal of 1,234 books for Read Across America Week! Because of their amazing reading efforts, Mr. Markuson kept his promise and kissed a pig during our assembly on Wednesday, March 4thโฆ dressed as Captain Underpants! ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ๐ท๐
We are so proud of our students for rising to the challenge and showing just how powerful a love of reading can be. The pig may have been adorable, but our readers are the real stars of the week! โญ๐
Be sure to check out the photos and video from this unforgettable (and very funny!) celebration!
