Our second grade scientists were at it again last week! This time they used their new engineering skills to design and build peeps houses which they then delivered to their Kindergarten buddies! What a way to spread Spring sweetness and learn science at the same time! 🩷🩵💜🐰🐥

3rd Grade began this year's journey on their Erie Arts and Culture Educational Passport program last week with a visit from Robert Lewis Storyteller , a uniquely entertaining Cherokee storyteller!

Next up for them is a workshop at school with the Hagen History Museum and then a field trip to the museum.
