Mrs.Thull's kindergarten class had their first ever Bug Day. They dived into the world of different types of bugs. They made their own playdough bugs, colored bugs with bug crayons, and went on a bug scavenger hunt. The whole day was bug themed. Everyone had a blast!!

Instead of a traditional book report, students in Ms. Jarvela’s 6th grade were asked to create a “Book in a Box”. They could choose any book of their choice and had to include 8 items that related to the book and a summary of the novel. The 6th graders excelled in their creativity of this final project and showcasing their individuality!
