Mrs. Budahl's 2nd-grade students had a lesson this morning about sinkholes led by Miss Hanson! The class has been learning about natural disasters experienced by different parts of the world, and today they focused on sinkholes. Some sinkholes occur in the ocean, and the class shared whether they would or wouldn't swim above a sinkhole. After the lesson, students had a Brain Break where they WENT BANANAS doing the 'Go Bananas' dance!"

Mrs. Kapfer talked with Mrs. Fossum's kindergarten class about feelings and how they affect our bodies. When we feel worried, we might feel it in our tummies, but when we are happy, we feel it in our cheeks from smiling! The students in KF then got to pick colors that represent four emotions and where they might feel that in their body. What a great lesson on our emotions and how they affect our bodies!
Miss Hart shared some of her favorite books with her kindergarten students this morning! She shared with her students how she loved the story “Biscuit” so much that she named her dog after the puppy in the story! Miss Hart also shared memories she has with “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” “If You Take a Mouse to the Movies,” “Ferdinand,” and “Eat Your Peas, Louise.” Each book holds a special place in her heart.
