Students investigated the science of sound today in Mrs. K's class! They learned that sound is a mechanical wave that requires a medium to be conducted. They used paper cups and string to represent this. They discovered that the string was the medium for conducting sound through vibrations and had fun experimenting with other classmates!!

The Swans class had fun meeting a student's mule and donkey today named Hank and Willy! It was part of a project called "Project: Me!" where students could tell anything about themselves and their life and present it to the class! As part of one of our Swan student's presentation, students were able to learn about the animals and to ask all sorts of questions. They enjoyed petting the animals and some were able to feed them apples. What an awesome project!

Students in the Woodland Critters class have been working on their Timeline Projects reflecting on past and present moments. They enjoyed sharing some photos with other classmates and talking about memories!
