Fifth graders created longhouses in STEAM to extend the social studies work they had done in their classrooms.




Our sixth graders enjoyed their first nutrition lesson by learning about MyPlate and what all needs to be included for a balanced meal. The students also were treated to a sample taste testing of sugar snap peas with some ranch dressing. Each student received a lunch container and some facts on sweet potatoes. We look forward to our next nutrition lesson in January.
