Our high schooler, Cenzie, partnered with the Kinders on a project this week. She brought us on a fall hunt outside, then we tried to glue our found items onto a paper cup. We ran into some problems, but it was a great learning experience! In the end, our new suggestions worked well and these were our creations! Thank you to all who sent us those glass jars!!
🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You! 🌟
We want to extend a huge thank you to the Hayward Piecemakers Quilting Guild for their incredible generosity! 🎉 They have, once again, donated beautiful quilts and books to our 4K students.
Guild members rose to the challenge of creating a quilt inspired by a children’s book, and the results were simply stunning! Each quilt perfectly captured the essence of its corresponding story, making it even more special. 📚❤️
Our students were thrilled to receive these treasures, and we know they will enjoy them for years to come. Thank you, Hayward Piecemakers, for your creativity, dedication, and kindness! You truly make a difference in the lives of our young learners! 💖✨

A Monarch Project Part 2
by Mrs. Strop and the Fifth Grade
Fifth graders had a blast reviewing the life cycle of the Monarch! We observed and noted the changes into a chrysalis, saw it emerge, and gently released it in the school's flower garden just in time for it's long, almost 3, 000 mile journey to Mexico. Studying the migration and patterns of the Monarch was so interesting that we learned how to put together a slideshow to share our information with others. When walking around the school grounds looking for signs of Monarch caterpillars, we discovered that Milkweed, which is their only food, is sparse! We decided to continue our project by creating a Milkweed garden! (more details to follow in the spring with the help of Dr. Julie Ray)
The following are a few fun facts we found:
-Monarch caterpillars eat up to 200 times their weight
-They use the sun's position and the Earth's magnetic field to find their way
-Their diet of only milkweed makes both the caterpillars and adult butterflies toxic to predators like birds.
-Male monarchs are identified by the black dots on their hind wings
-A group of butterflies is called a flutter or a kaleidoscope.

Important Update for after school hours during "WORK" Club

Oscar, the continental giant bunny, came to visit today. Oscar is still growing, with the record for his type of rabbit coming in at 53 pounds!
Our Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches also had babies but so far I haven't gotten a good picture of them.
Oscar will stay for at least today, if anyone would like a brain break to come and give him some pets.

Kinders enjoyed searching for signs of the fall season today! They walked down Main Street and found beautiful fall decorations, pointed out safe spaces to go (if there is ever a need) and worked on understanding direction. We even created a map to help us.
The kindergarten students would love to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to all the local businesses that made it so beautiful for us to take pictures today!
