Mr. Doug Foley came to teach the 4th grade about trees. They learned about tree products, they sang a song about trees, and they received a tree to plant.
Ms. Winn's English 11 students helped 6th graders revise their research projects this week. Thanks to Mr. Bunt, Mr. Hofstede, and Ms. Samardich for the wonderful opportunity! Everyone learned something and it was fun to see students from different grade levels collaborating.
We were excited to have Serena Mershon-Lohkamp, chemistry teacher from GCC, and Rayona Suelflow, GCC student and 2nd grade parent join Mrs. McRae’s classroom Friday afternoon! The students were able to do three science activities. They learned about chromatography while making coffee filter flowers. Then, they learned about cells and were able to view samples under a microscope. Last, the students learned about the science of making ice cream. While the salt made the ice melt, their ice cream ingredients began to freeze! Thank you for spending your afternoon with us!
On Friday, April 28, the 4th grade students went to the J.W. Nursery. They took a tour learning how the trees are grown, harvested, and transported to different national forests all over the United States. They came away with a seedling and a pass to go to any national forest for free or at a reduced price!
Today's Middle School Band Concert is cancelled due to inclement weather. Also, this is a reminder that there will be no school in Ironwood on Monday. Stay safe!
Claire Eitrem earned "Teacher Chair for the Day" through the PTO fundraiser. She had fun sitting in Mrs. Wolfe's chair for the day!
Mrs. Wolfe did a lesson on "How to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud..." The kids had a rainbow template with the color words inside and used the torn paper method to create their rainbows. We completed the writing portion of the assignment just prior to the Packers assembly. Many of the kids connected what the team's message was to what THEY HAD JUST DONE!
