NOTICE!

There has been some confusion about pick-up time for Kindergartners tomorrow, April 23rd, following the Safe Kids presentation at the LaGrande Armory.  The bus will be back to school by 1:30.  Please pick your kindergartner up in front of the elementary school at 1:30.  Sorry for the conflicting information and don't forget your sack lunch!  Mrs. VanNice

Water, Water, Everywhere!

Cabella plants bean seeds that we'll eventually put in a hydroponic solution. 

Reese adds his bean seeds to the bulletin board. 

When will they sprout?

Gideon tests the pH of water.

Hannah is testing the creek water near her house.

Mykaia tests some pond water.

I wonder what's the pH of water from a hot tub?

Let's find out.

Tanner looks at water under a microscope. 

Reese brought water found in his sand box;

it was really interesting under the microscope!

This is what we think of the "swamp water"  Tanner's Dad sent to school!!!

What a smell!  YUCK!

GRANDSON

Ashton put Baby Will right to sleep with a favorite

first  grade story about Elephant and Piggie!

100th Day of School!

On the 100th day of school we set up several stations in both first grade

and kindergarten.  Below you'll see a few of them!

Loghan is estimating and then dropping 100 drops of water into the cup.

Hannah is "dotting" 10 scoops of ice cream on 10 ice cream cones. 

Are you doing the math?

10 scoops x 10 cones = 100 scoops of ice cream!

Paisley and Cabella make their 100 Day Crowns!

Nevaeh and Hannah are getting prepared to count drops of water.

Tanner is coloring his crown.

Danny has 100 blocks - his challenge is to build Pete the Cat a home.

Can he do it?

Pete looks right at home to me!

Paisley is printing her 100 scoops of ice cream!

Love the crown and the happy boy!

Celebrating SEUSS!

Kinders enjoy a Dr. Seuss book read in the elementary library. 

High school students read Dr. Seuss books the entire day!  I love it!

Senior Lindsey, reads a favorite, Thidwick the Big-hearted Moose!

More readers... now it's Sneetches!

She's holding her nose as she reads McBean's lines - what fun!

We made oobleck - just like the stuff that came from the sky in

the Dr. Seuss classic, Bartholomew and the Oobleck.

Mykaia stretches her oobleck...

Cabella's not sure what's going to happen?!?

WOW - look at this!

Tanner tries printing a coin.

Richard makes a necklace!

Hannah too!

Playing Possum

Gideon and Loghan have on their possum pockets.  They have 13 baby possums!

It's daytime - Baylee and Paisley are holed up in their den!

Reese is "playing possum"!

Is Richard asleep or ???
