Week 35
Wow, what an exciting and busy week!
In honor of National Prevent Animal Cruelty month (April), we had a visitor from the Humane Society come talk to the first graders. They learned all about what the Humane Society does and learned about dog safety. We even met one of their 4-legged employees, Maddie!
Continuing with the theme of animals, on Wednesday we got to meet a Ball Python named Stella! A first grader in Ms.Pawol's class had his grandpa visit with his snake. We got to learn all about Stella, her eating habits and her growing habits - we got to see her largest molt!
And as a grand finale to our animal week, on Friday we ended the week with a special visit from our Yoga teachers - Ms, Lynea, Mr. Jim and we even got to meet Manda B and Junebug from the videos!
Thank you for all of the donations of recyclable items - we truly experienced the magic of "one man's trash is another man's treasure" by using the items to create solutions to real world problems! We have push pins that hold heavier items, back support for when you're tired and reading, and tools to help our backpacks stay on their hooks! Through the engineering process, they also learned and practiced the power of collaboration and perseverance!
We had our final session with our Artist in Residency. The students were both scientists and artists as Karie showed the science behind clay and the first graders got to glaze their clay projects! A HUGE thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped make the Artist in Residencies so successful - we couldn't have done it without you!
We ended the week with our Stephenson Talent Show - what a fun way to end the week!
