Happy St. Patrick’s Day
We had a fantastic time celebrating St. Patrick’s day today! There were many activities happening throughout our school. Second graders used their design and problem solving skills in making leprechaun traps. They weren’t very successful as many classrooms were visited by these mischievous “leprechauns” causing quite disarray throughout our school. Hopefully the second graders will have better luck next year. Other grade levels invistigated rainbow colors in a science experiment, created graphs with Lucky Charms, and searched for gold. River Bend Nature Center Grades 1, 3, and 4 had great weather for exploring our outdoor learning centers with River Bend Nature Center naturalists this last week. They explored various topics such as homes and habitats that animals create, the water cycle, and plant and animal adaptations. They also discussed how our crazy Minnesota seasons and environment play a part in it all. Some of the students were brave enough to touch some of the animals they brought with them!
