It has been a busy few months for fifth grade! We are wrapping up our unit on energy transfer and food chains. We got to observe live worms and track the process of decomposition. We are creating some artwork, showcasing various food chains across various ecosystems and habitats. Last week Central Electric visited to share about electricity and students were able to test out some forms of energy. Today we enjoyed the Sioux Falls Symphony Orchestra and lunch at Falls Park!
The preschoolers enjoyed Read Across America Week with dress-up days, activities, visitors, popcorn and a movie!
📚The fourth grade enjoyed Read Across America Week!
📚We celebrated with the dress up days, reading Dr. Seuss books, watching the Lorax, and having the Cat in the Hat visit the room!
Our 4th & 5th graders enjoyed learning all
about electricity from Central Electric Cooperative today! 💡🧲⚡️
