5th grade loved hearing about a variety of careers from the awesome adults in our community during Career Week. Thank you so much to those that participated!
5th grade attended an awesome presentation from Ameren. We learned how to be energy efficient, participated in great demonstrations, and got materials to take home to help continue to learn about and be efficient.
Today Collins’ kindergarten class learned sequence of events through the process of baking bread. Students read a book about bread, how to make dough, and how to bake bread. Students even got to make dough, learned the different types of flour, and even tasted several types of store bought bread.
