Kindergarten got to play with our family of musical frogs. The giant frog makes a low sound, and the baby frog makes a high sound.

Some of the first graders were successful in getting the leprechauns to the pot of gold. A big thank you to a few sixth graders who helped us avoid the traps while block coding with variables of speed and distance on our Sphero Bolts. (Videos of successful runs are on our Facebook page.)

Mrs. Ingalsbe's 5th grade class had an exciting week watching their chicks hatch... The chicks must have been exhausted from all they learned in class this week because they enjoyed some naps on some of the kids! š£
Thank you for the experience Vermilion County Farm Bureau Ag in the Classroom & Ms. Buhr!

Yesterday's Music Madness was a surprise. We had a tie of 61-61 between Wellerman and We Will Rock You. After polling the teachers, We Will Rock You won out. So today's final music battle is between Queen and Luke Bryan. Can't wait to see who wins!

Yesterday was a special day in first grade! After 21 long days we were greeted by five chicks in the morning, three during our school day and ended the day with two more arrivals. We have moved some chicks to the brooder box and hope to have more by the end of today!
