Mrs. Daniels’ third graders brought reading to life after finishing the novel The Wild Robot! Students recreated scenes from the story using marshmallows, pretzels, and Teddy Grahams to represent the characters and setting. To celebrate completing the book, students enjoyed eating their creations while watching the movie together. It was a fun and memorable way to combine reading, creativity, and classroom community!

Last week, students in Mrs. Niewoonder's first-grade class learned about magnets. They learned how magnets are used in everyday life and conducted experiments to demonstrate how magnets attract and repel one another and how they affect common objects.
