The second grade class has started the embryology project. “The embryology project is a hands-on, school enrichment program where youth learn about embryonic development by hatching chicks in the classroom.”

Melissa Mracek from the Nebraska Extension Office is providing all the necessary information and tools to teach us about this project. In roughly twenty-one days, we are hoping to have chicks. As a class, we are very eager to learn how this process works. A huge thanks goes to Melissa for bringing this fun project into our classroom.

On Halloween, kindergarten and first grade carved a pumpkin and named him “Pumpkin Jack.” We have been watching him gradually decompose over the winter. We were so excited to see the life cycle continue when it re-sprouted! Today first grade was able to transplant their newly sprouted pumpkin seedlings into a bigger container. After digging through what was left of Pumpkin Jack we found only some seeds and the stem left!

** The money raised will be used to buy the nursing home residents items on their wish lists! **

4th grade has been busy this year already — multiplication war, continent posters, and making simple solar panel electrical systems!
