It has been a busy couple weeks for the fifth grade! Last week we wrapped up testing and attended the Kimball Water Festival where we experimented with filtering water from the River much like our water treatment plant does for Aurora county. We also explored PH testing mystery liquids, wetland habitats, and many other great exhibits. Today we traveled to Harrisburg to get some jump time and great food at Air Madness! What an awesome group of kids- many compliments on their manners, curiosity, and ability to self regulate for both visits!!
fourth grade made some summer stained glass windows with chalk! we loved being outside and enjoying these gorgeous days ♥️
the fourth grade earned some extra time outside today. they played kickball and enjoyed a beautiful day!!
The preschoolers took a field trip to the fire station Friday afternoon! Highlights of the trip included trying on the helmets, checking out the ambulance and firetrucks, spraying the hose and going for a ride in the firetruck! They especially loved the lights and sirens! Thank you Plankinton Fire Department!!!
