excavation - cookie style

We excavated M & Ms from cookies using toothpicks as tools. After charting and graphing our findings, we ate the remains. Delicious dinosaur discoveries!

Pipe Cleaner Dinos

We created our own dinosaurs out of pipe cleaners. See our creativity on the slide show.

Today we enjoyed a chilly campfire with our Pre K buddies. Mrs. Oeth and Mrs. Mullin shared stories and poems, following which the Second graders roasted marshmallows for their buddies. Everyone enjoyed s'mores, hot cocoa and great company in the Academy Woods.
