My Pumpkins

Here are the pumpkins I carved for Halloween this year. If you can't tell just by looking at them, the first one is Abraham Lincoln and the second one is George Washington.

Preparing for Our Colonial Travel Fair

As part of our study of the 13 English Colonies in America, students are currently working on preparations for our Colonial Travel Fair. The fair will have several booths designed to entice others to move to their colony.

The Fair will be held on Wednesday Oct. 18th in the North Prairie library. The morning Social Studies classes will be presening their booths between 9:40 and 11:00. The afternoon classes will present theirs between 1:30 and 3:00. Parents and family members are welcome to come check it out (make sure you check with your student to find out when they have social studies class).
