Mrs. Fossum's kindergarten class had a fun way to practice their sight words today! They made rainbows and filled them with their sight words. Once they had all their sight words in the rainbow, they got to paint it for their leprechaun's pot of gold! We cannot wait to see the beautiful rainbows these kindergarteners create while they learn!

The second graders in Mrs. Budahl's class had a fun math activity today! Led by Miss Hanson, these second graders had to solve math problems in order to create their leprechauns. Depending on the math problem they solved would determine how they would make their leprechaun. We love getting to see such fun activities in class that mix multiple subjects to make learning fun and engaging for our students!

Mr. Grojohn's class of fifth graders had a special guest today for Junior Achievement. They discussed the important aspects of business and entrepreneurship.
