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.

K-4 had a fabulous day visiting Crows’ Farm on November 4th! The students learned a lot of information about corn. They rode in a combine, tractors hauling grain, learned about the corn belt, how many rows an ear of corn has, guessed how tall corn shucks can grow, and how much corn makes a bushel. They also went on a scavenger hunt and found items made from corn. Thank you for a wonderful day!
