The 3rd graders enjoyed dry erase window writing today! Sometimes you just have to do something a little out the box to make spelling and cursive practice more fun!

We ❤️ reading, how about you?” We wrapped up our Read Across America celebration with a reading cheer (which the elementary clearly won)😊Mr. Seberger read Duck on a Tractor, we sang a fun Dr. Seuss song, we took a Reading Oath, and everyone enjoyed a yummy cupcake. A huge thank you goes out to the Elwood Booster Club for donating money so we could celebrate reading in a big way!🕶📚❤️

Yesterday, 3rd grade students designed a house that wouldn’t blow away in the “wind” for science. Today, we had our contractor, Clint, come in and explain how foundations/footings, anchor bolts, studs, roofs, etc. all go into building a structure that doesn’t blow away in the wind! Everything is connect so that foundation keeps us in place! We’re loving all the real life learning with this construction on site! Next week we can hopefully see the actual footings for this new construction!
