Mrs. Mutter's class also had a wonderful day with their 2nd Grade Cafe review yesterday! Her little baristas were hard at work to solve their review challenges and build their own cafes!
First Grade had a wind-inspired STEM day this week as they read about William Kamkwamba in 'The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.' Thank you, Mrs. Wilfong, for helping plan the day and helping our classes build working windmills!
