The older students had a very interesting trip to Meadowcroft where they learned about history, anthropology, and archaeology!

The rest of us had a great time exploring and helping at Carolyn's Farm. Bug catching galore!

Tomorrow, grades 3 and up go camping and K-2 will join them on Friday! We will be hiking; we recommend boots. Don't forget a refillable water bottle and a non-microwave lunch. With all of the rain we have had, it is buggy out there. Bug protection is a good idea. :)

Kindergarten works with play-dough.

Look at these adorable reading buddies!

P.E. class stations

Who can teach about recycling, reducing and refusing plastic? "Plastic Man can!" 

Food Dude, from last year's newsletters, has been transformed and is now Plastic Man's arch nemesis, "Sweet Pete".  Oh no!

The Neo-Terra Farm Tour was educational and yummy!

Matt/Joyce's class is off on a big adventure field trip with Katy to see Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village this Friday. 

The rest of us are going to Carolyn's Farm! It will be muddy, so rain boots are a great idea. Every Friday, bring a refillable water bottle and pack a non-microwavable lunch.

Last Friday's hike and stream exploration was so wonderful. Here are pictures:

This Friday, we will leave school at 9am to take tour of Neo-Terra and bio-intensive mini farming in Lemont.

We had a blast swimming and playing at the pool last Friday. Check it out:

These students were given a (safe!) mystery liquid and used the properties of color, smell and feel as clues for identification.

This Friday, we will be going on a hike at a new trail just off of Rock Road. We will then taking the bus to Spring Creek Park for lunch and recess fun, which will include wading in the creek. Wear comfortable hiking shoes, pack a non-microwavable lunch, bring a refillable water bottle and a towel!
