State Representative Michael Schraa (from our local District 53rd Assembly) recently came and spoke to Ms. Jentz's Civics classes. After wrapping up their unit on State and Local Government, students had the opportunity to learn more about the daily life of a state representative, about legislative processes, what they are currently working on in the capital, and some Q&A time with Rep. Schraa. He also brought copies of this year's Wisconsin Blue Book for students to take for free. Many thanks to Rep. Schraa for taking time out of his schedule to enrich our students learning about State and Local Government!

Last month, as an extension to our MySci Science unit focusing on matter and changes, Mrs. Babcock's second grade class made slime from three basic ingredients. They took each step with precision discussing changes in matter and predictions for keeping the slime so it lasts. Mrs. Babcock was surprised how in their conversations they were using science vocabulary like property, flexibility, texture, and transparent. The kids all agreed the homemade slime was better than the bought stuff.😊🦊
