GREEN EGGS AND HAM FUN!
Our UPK and Kindergarten students recently enjoyed reading Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss as part of our reading activities. To make the story come to life, Mrs. Hull brought in real green eggs and ham for the students to try!
Students were excited to taste the famous dish from the story, and it turns out that more students liked the green eggs and ham than those who didn’t. It was a fun and memorable way to connect reading with a hands-on experience.
Great job to our young readers for being brave and giving something new a try!

A SWEET LESSON ON MAPLE SYRUP!
This morning’s Elementary Morning Program was extra sweet! We were excited to welcome Mr. Hull as our special guest, where he shared fascinating information about how maple syrup is made.
Mr. Hull explained the process of producing maple syrup, including how to measure the diameter of maple trees to determine how many spiles can be inserted. Trees that are 10 inches in diameter can have one spile, 20-inch trees can have two, and 30-inch trees can have three.
He even brought several students up to help demonstrate how spiles are inserted into the trees so the sap can flow out and be collected. Students were surprised to learn that it takes about 40 gallons of sap to make just 1 gallon of maple syrup!
Mr. Hull also took time to answer thoughtful questions from our students, making this a fun and interactive learning experience for all.
Thank you, Mr. Hull, for taking the time to share your knowledge with our elementary students today!

4TH GRADERS EXPLORE ENERGY IN SCIENCE!
Mrs. Prescott’s 4th graders recently dove into the world of energy, exploring sound, light, heat, potential and kinetic energy, and more! They brought their learning to life with hands-on activities, including:
• Using volleyballs to see how collisions affect motion
• Observing how food coloring spreads in water at different temperatures, discovering that particles move faster in warmer objects
• Setting up working electrical circuits and testing which objects conduct electricity
Through these experiments, students discovered that most metals conduct electricity, and had a blast learning by doing!
