Decorating pumpkins was definitely a highlight on Friday for our 1st and 4th grade buddies!
Halloween is over and that means lots of leftover pumpkins!! First grade gathered some from around the school and took them out to the farm to share with our pigs, goats, and turkeys this morning. They LOVE to eat pumpkins! We also fed some carrots, peppers, and cauliflower trimmings. Shoutout to Ms. Amber and Ms. Colleen in the kitchen for saving salad bar leftovers and trimmings so that even when the school garden is done for the year our animals still get some yummy fresh treats almost every day!!
3rd grade Halloween fun!
Thank you, parents, for your help.
Kindergarten Halloween fun
Happy Halloween from CAL Second Grade 🎃
Kindergarten enjoyed their guest reader today- Aaden read a Dino football story to them!
Kindergarten enjoyed testing their designs to see if they could keep their person less hot while being at the beach. In science they have been learning about hot and less hot. Their final challenge was to build something that would keep them from getting too hot at the beach.
After a busy week in 3rd grade, a little extra recess on a beautiful day was in order!
5th grade enjoyed reading about early American civilizations while taking advantage of today's beautiful weather!
Kindergarten enjoyed popcorn and candy for their PBIS reward!
2nd grade students have been exploring with SAM Lab technology, which our school received from an Iowa STEM scale-up grant this year. They created a code to connect a light sensor to a RGB LED block to light up their paper lanterns to wrap up their Ancient Chinese civilization Reading unit.
4th grade has loved First Chapter Friday! Miss Becca has even stopped in to be a guest speaker. We are getting quite good at rock paper scissors- trying out a full body version and a zombie version! All school recess and popcorn with our 1st grade buddies was a blast and our PBIS reward was fun learning to create friendship bracelets.

LEGOS are a fun way to celebrate 3rd grade's latest awesome week. Our class is full of responsible, respectful, kind, and safe students!!
More LEGO fun with 3rd graders.
A big thank you to both the Latimer & Coulter Fire Departments for coming out to teach students about fire safety. 2nd grade students were thrilled to try aiming the fire hose & learn more about the tools they use.
Kindergarten enjoyed fire safety day this morning. Even all got a turn spraying the hose!
Fat Bear Week! Who knew you can vote for the fattest bear in the National Parks in Alaska that exemplify brown bear fatness and readiness for winter?🐻 4th grade started a new math unit about fractions and got to make apple crisp from the apples we picked at Carlson Tree Farm!
1st grade has been learning about how light travels. This week they started exploring with how to make light reflect. They will get to use this knowledge to solve the problem of getting light to the bottom of a canyon.
3rd grade was thrilled to hear a pirate story from Ms. Lamos, CAL's new librarian.
