Mrs. Barbeau’s kindergarten class wrote out a hypothesis (smart guess) to predict what would happen when we poured warm water on skittles?!
Our hypothesis was correct! It did, indeed, make a rainbow!!🌈

Good Afternoon,
Today you will have the opportunity to participate in the Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This opportunity allows you to share your views on important elements of school effectiveness. The results from the survey will provide a rich picture of the inner workings of our school from an organizational perspective.
The survey identifies school performance on five factors or “essentials” that can lead to important student outcomes, including improved attendance and larger test score gains.
Prior research has shown that schools strong on three or more of the 5Essentials were ten times more likely to improve student learning gains than schools weak on three or more of the Essentials.
Those 5Essentials are:
Effective Leaders
Collaborative Teachers
Involved Families
Supportive Environment
Ambitious Instruction
2025 Illinois Parent Survey
Link for parents to take the survey: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/
The survey closes March 28, 2025.
Thank you for your participation.
Dr. Kraemer
Mrs. Keck’s class practiced reciprocal teaching today while reading “Backward Day.” Students took on roles like predictor, questioner, clarifier, and summarizer. Then they shared with their group!
