Our 4th and 5th graders joined forces today to solve Math and Science tasks. The Witches Brew, Plummeting Pumpkins and Glowing Ghosts were a hit. Multiplying and graphing allowed for great collaboration. It was a Fang-tastic morning!
First graders at South were a little batty today! Miss Zurcher and Mrs. Gray’s firsties enjoyed Bat Day! The day included being nonfiction authors as they created bat books, using engineering skills to design and create free standing bat caves along with learning the parts of a bat and participating by in other bat themed activities! Everyone had a blast working all day in the bat caves!
