Experimenting with Magnets





The students have begun their new unit on magnets. The pictures show the students participating in a variety of experiments. The students have learned how to follow scientific method and are applying it to each of the experiments.

So far the students have completed 4 out of the 13 experiments they will have a chance to conduct. We are having great time!

Forest Tour








The Forest Tour was on Friday October 5th. The students educated other students in the school about the importance of protecting forests and preserving the resources found in forests. The students presented information about Taiga, Temperate, Petrified, and Rainforests. The students also examined what it would be like to live in a world without forests.

The tour was very successful and students from PK through 5th grade had a chance to participate in this event.

Forest Dioramas




These pictures show the students working on their forest dioramas. The students researched the flora, fauna, resources, location, and a fact of their choice for each type of forest.
The students worked very hard and their finished dioramas were fantastic!

Bake Sale





We had a very successful bake sale! We raised 2005 kr. Part of this money will be used to buy 2 acres of rainforest, which will be preserved and protected.

Thank you for all of your help (the cakes were delicious)!
