K-2 have been learning about farms and corn. Today they performed a play about working hard to grow corn to eat. They also shared about the 5 kernels of corn and the meaning behind each kernel. Great job kids!
3/4 had to Escape for Thanksgiving! They had to solve the clues to get their “TurKEYS” to get out. Lots of thinking before school let out for break.
3/4 had a busy couple of days learning about the Wampanoag tribe and their wampum belts. The students made their own belts. Great experience learning how to weave.
