The engineers in 2T have been studying various solid objects and using properties to describe them. Today they built towers thinking about which materials would create a stable enough foundation to support a 45 centimeter tall tower. They learned that engineers can’t give up on the first try and stable towers are TOUGH to build! 😉 #lesinspire #misdinspire
Second graders have been learning about the War of 1812 during Knowledge time. This week they had the opportunity to use a new app called Pebble Go Next to do some deeper investigation on James Madison. 🧐 Did you know he was our 4th president? 🇺🇸 Did you know he had a wife named Dolley Madison? Did you know during this war the British set the White House on fire? 🔥 If you want to know more, ask a second grader! ☺️ Pebble Go Next is a great app to use with your student as they can search for their subject, read information, have the information read aloud to them, and even watch a video! #lesinspre #misdinspire
Ms. Ann’s preschool class filled their paw pyramid by showing the Marion Way! To celebrate, our custodian, Mr. Tim came in as a surprise reader!

Ms. Jenni's class learned about the letter N this week. They played a game by looking for the letter N on nut pictures. If it was a letter other than N they would say, "Oh nuts!" #lesinspire #misdinspirr
