Photos from the Elementary & MS/HS Christmas Concerts last week.
Miss Ekroth and Mrs. Deurmier's 2nd grade classes created Christmas ornaments with the JAG students. The 2nd graders enjoy getting to do activities with the JAG students every Monday morning.
Preschool recently started our ball study. This week the topic is: "Do all balls bounce?" Mrs. H showed children different kinds of balls, we predicted which balls would bounce and why. Kids took turns bouncing the balls. We checked predictions and talked about why some didn't bounce as well as others. They noticed the football bounced all "crazy" . We discussed why and they said it was because it wasn't round like the other balls. Lots of great conversations today!
