Some Scarecrow costumes



Here are a couple of the students that dressed up for this fun fall activity. We had fun reading, writing and doing Math. We also watched a great scarecrow movie. We even had great haystack cookies. Thanks for all your support.

Scarecrow Day is Friday, Oct. 22

This week we will be doing our Reading and Math around the scarecrow theme.
I would like the students to dress up like scarecrows on Friday.
We will have a few special activities that day.

Kalamazoo Nature Center Field Trip




On Tuesday, November 12th all the first and second graders went on a field trip to the Kalamazoo Nature Center. We learned about Native Americans. We learned about their shelters, food and games. We really enjoyed this trip.

Owl Pellets


Our class recently dissected owl pellets. This was a fun adventure.
Do you know owls eat their food whole and that the bones and fur do
not digest? We found bones and skulls in our pellets. Be sure to ask your
child about this science lesson.
