Mrs. Anderson’s WINN class spent some time this week reflecting together about what compassion and empathy truly mean and how one can have a compassionate attitude. As a kinesthetic addition to the discussion, they painted pumpkins while they were talking.


Student's in Mrs. Lemke's science class were learning about space and studying planets. At the end of their unit, the created inventions that could help them survive on Mars using Little Bits Circuit Kits. Some inventions were temperature sensors and lights that turn on when it is dark. Then they went to the library and practiced their coding skills and used Sphero RVR to "explore" Mars and land on a crater.
