Our 2nd graders had a blast solving the mystery of "Who Stole the Chef's Thanksgiving Dinner?" Using their critical thinking skills and teamwork, they worked together to crack the case. What a fun and engaging way to kick off the Thanksgiving holiday!
Happy Thanksgiving Break to our wonderful students and families! We are so thankful for each of you and the joy you bring to our school community. We can’t wait to see you back on Monday, December 2nd!
Mrs. Lohman's class took a deep dive into the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade by reading "Balloons Over Broadway!' After learning all about the iconic tradition, students channeled their creativity to design and craft their very own balloons. They wrapped up this exciting project with a parade to showcase their incredible creations!
