1st graders combined what they have learned about alebrijes with what the learned about pattern and wax resist with crayon and watercolor to create imaginary animals. Next week they will cut them out, stuff, and stitch them up to make sculptures.

🛠️✨ Calling all families and community members! Our elementary makerspace is buzzing with creativity, and we need your help 🧠🎨

We're collecting shoe boxes for upcoming student projects—think dioramas, engineering challenges, and imaginative builds galore! If you have any empty shoe boxes lying around, we'd love to give them a second life.

📦 Drop them off at the school office or with Mrs. Ranft anytime this week. Every box helps spark a new idea!

Thank you for supporting our young makers 💡❤️

Our second month of classroom buddies was a blast! Mrs. Floersch’s kindergarteners and Ms. Eischens’ second graders put their engineering skills to the test by building candy pumpkin catapults. There was so much laughter, teamwork, and flying pumpkins! We can’t wait to see what fun November brings! 🎃

Mrs. Sohns’ Class Celebrates Kindness with “Stone Soup”
After reading Stone Soup during reading time, our first graders came together to celebrate kindness, teamwork, and sharing—just like the characters in the story! The class discussed how small acts of generosity can bring people together, then joined forces to create their own “Stone Soup.” Each student contributed a thoughtful “ingredient,” such as celery, carrots, potatoes, rosemary and tomatoes. It was a wonderful way to see our young readers bring the story’s message to life and celebrate the joy of working together!
