A big congratulations to 4th Grade’s Annual Connect 4 Tournament class winners! And an extra special thanks to Dr. Deets for playing our grade level winner, Tucker!
Ms. McClean’s class got ready for summer by having a water balloon toss!! Congrats to Xavier and Wael for being our winners!
Yesterday, Ms. McClean’s class got to do a fun classmate scavenger hunt! They had a sheet with descriptions on it (has a younger sibling, lost a tooth this year, etc.), and they had to go around the room and have their peers sign next to a description that matched them! It was a great way to get them up and moving these last few days of school 🤓
Mrs. Mollet and Mrs. Tish gave my class an ice cream party for returning all their library books in. A huge thank you to them!
The 7th Graders went to Camp Wartburg for their field trip on Monday. The weather was perfect to be outside all day! They did lots of team building exercises and had some time at the end to have a fun recess!
