4th grade attended a wonderful field trip hosted by the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies. We took a bus to Chadron State Park and met up with Chaley Jensen, the Nebraska Wildlife Education Coordinator. Chaley and her assistant took us for a walk showing the students how to net birds, how to use binoculars, and then how they process, band, and release the birds. This was an extremely informative trip and was enjoyable for all. The 4th grade received a grant to help us learn and build an ecosystem that is friendly to our community and will help beautify our school. We are looking forward to working with Chaley in the future!

So we have two winners, Emily Forney and Brayden Heiting, of the Eggsperiment! 4th grade had to design a safe cushion for their egg (relating to seatbelts and crashes) to survive a drop from our landing to the cement below.  Fun was had by all….eggsept some cracked eggs!

On Tuesday Second Grade learned how to write invitations by writing Mr. Hagge an invitation to come read to our classroom. Mr. Hagge replied with the “coolest” RSVP! On Thursday he came all dressed up at 10:30 and read our FAVORITE book, “The Day the Crayons Quit”! We did great on our listening and speaking skills during the story. Our Favorite part was how peach crayon lost his wrapper and was NAKED! After Mr. Hagge left the room we got right to work on a nice thank you letter. We learned all the parts to a friendly letter by the time we finished up. Thank you Mr. Hagge for the awesome opportunity to have fun learning!
