Ms. Stange's United States History I class studied the Underground Railroad and the use of hidden quilt messages. Students were asked to create their own quilt design but each quilt square had to include a lit lantern as that signaled a safe house. The pictures show a "paper quilt" of the students' quilt blocks.

Companion Animal Care recently learned about the different digestive tracts animals may have. Today the students got to make the digestive systems out of playdoh. The digestive systems they created were for a monogastric (the pig), a ruminant (the cow), and a bird, since bird’s digestive systems are a little different than other monogastrics.

March has Youth Art Month, Women's History Month, and International Women's Day (8th), all rolled into one! Our fifth graders are learning about Frida Kahlo, a prominent woman in Mexican art history, to tie all these pieces together. They had a really respectful conversation about her history, the symbols used in her artwork, and how her life affected her artwork. I was so proud of the fifth graders ability to read artwork and communicate what they saw!
We were able to welcome fantastic NHS readers in for Dr. Seuss’ birthday - so many thanks to these wonderful high schoolers!
