Mrs. Mauiro taught summer school students about how color is impacted by the reflection of light . In this experiment, students used the water and plastic bag to change how the light travels. It even made part of the pictures disappear!
Crafts are always a favorite part of summer school. Hopefully the amazing creations are making it home safely. Check out these fish!
Mrs. Hudson's class loved their trip to the local Palmer Library. Don't forget about the summer reading program. The next Saturday program is June 29th at 10 a.m. Call the library at 898-5821 if you want more information.

Mrs. Pott sure encourages creativity during her summer school afternoon sessions and at Explorer's Club.
Explorer's Club is in session during summer school also. Afterschool students extend learning through interactive activities. Look at this awesome design.
Look at these brand new kindergarten students painting their seashell shapes with Mrs. Clote!
National Chocolate Chip cookie day was May 15. Mrs. Stimac's students learned how chocolate chips are made, read about the history of the chocolate chip cookie, identified facts and wrote using supporting details. Finally they summarized all they learned about chocolate chip cookies. Students learned about renewable and non renewable resources by mining for chocolate chips. Recipes were used to practice skills we learned throughout the year. If you missed it last month, why not celebrate chocolate chip cookie day today?
Looking for ideas to keep your kiddos busy? Plant some seeds! Sunflowers are a great example for students. You can measure their growth, teach about watering and caring for plants, and how sunflower seeds can be used to feed humans and wildlife! Thanks Mrs. Wilch for sharing pictures of your class planting seeds for inspiration.
Here's a sneak peak into Kindergarten Summer School!

Playdoh is great for all ages! Summer School students love the chance to create and design.
