2nd Grade math was "Eggs-tra" fun today. We went on an egg hunt. Inside each egg was a math review question. It was fun seeing how much we have learned so far in 2nd Grade.

Rivermen Clubhouse welcomed spring this week. They made cute baby chicks.
"COOPERATION" has been our Character Trait for the month of March. Even though the concept is simple, it is often a challenge for our littles to put into action! B4 kids were challenged to cooperatively keep a balloon afloat in partners, groups and as a class. First graders learned that 'listening" and "focus" are very important when cooperating. They led fellow classmates through the cooperation maze.
On Tuesday, March 21 the Alma and Pepin sixth grade band attend the MEGA BAND at Blair-Taylor school. Over 250 sixth grade students from several schools rehearsed and performed together. It was a (loud) and amazing experience for everyone! The students were so well-behaved and represented Alma and Pepin with pride. Here are a few pictures of our adventure.
Rivermen Clubhouse fun!
The kids enjoyed a week of welcoming spring! They made moon sand, chalk bunnies, played games & dress up, they also painted egg cartons and turn them into a beautiful flower. Happy Spring everybody.
For St. Patrick's Day, Kindergarten and 6th grade students worked together to plan, build and decorate leprechaun traps. This STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) challenge brought lots of joyful memories to students especially when the leprechaun came to trick their traps. Be sure to ask a kindergartener about what the leprechaun did to their classroom!!
Kindergarten students enjoyed a rainbow science experiment. Students used their knowledge of solid, liquid and gas to observe what happened.
