Mrs. Rahar and the North School library added a Pete the Cat rug to the reading area in the library. Miss Reiser's class was the first clss to read a book with Mrs. Rahar in the new area. #readingrocks
The second grade students had fun digging through soil and holding worms during our visit with Ag in the Class.
We then finished off the day by making Turkey headbands 🦃
Second graders got a lesson on coding that involved no technology. They learned the most basic principle of computer coding is learning to follow a set of instructions. Then they practiced their skills by writing some simple "code" of their own and challenged their classmates and teachers to solve their codes. #unpluggedcoding
Mrs. Hickey's K-2 classes completed a Turkey Building Relay Race. It's safe to say they had fun and made some pretty cute turkeys in the process.

Kindergarten classes had the opportunity to build their own Mini Mayflower foil boats this week. Students worked as a team to design a boat that could hold the most "pilgrims" possible. Ms. Specha helped them to test their designs, while practicing their skip counting by 5's. Several teams designed boats that held 102 pilgrims, the same number as on the original Mayflower.
The varsity and junior varsity boys basketball teams along with Coach Ryan Brown were greeters at Memorial Elementary on Wednesday morning. The basketball players greeted the students at the doors and mingled with them in the multipurpose room.

Ms. Specha brought squishy circuit pumpkins to the first grade classrooms over the last few days. Students used special types of dough, a 9 volt battery, and an LED light bulb to complete a circuit and light up the stems of their pumpkins. #STEMinfirstgrade #squishycircuits
