Blunt 1st and 2nd graders had a fun time experimenting with spray paint and oil pastels, in order to create their own versions of a Snowman! It's incredible seeing their imaginations flourish!


3rd grade STEAM class show off their team, communication and Lego abilities, and created amazing mazes for their marbles. They also enjoyed trying other team's mazes and even created a competition who can get their marble through the maze in record time!











The 4th graders had fun last week when Marla Huse came in and taught them about the inside and jobs of the leaf with another cool activity. Marla has come into my classroom for years to do lessons with many classes. We are very fortunate to have this wealth of green thumb knowledge!!
