4th and 5th graders took a trip into outer space thanks to the awesome ⭐️Star Lab ⭐️from U of I Extension McLean County STEAM in the Classroom! Students were able to learn about how the moon 🌝 changes into different phases, and how solar and lunar eclipses work. All of the students loved the experience, and thought it was cool to go into the gigantic dome. We are pumped for the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th! Make sure to turn in your child's permission form in by Friday, April 5th!
Today, we celebrated good behavior and positive choices with a jump start to our spring break by showing off our fantastic dance moves 💃🕺💃🕺at the Neon Dance. We will see everyone back on Tuesday, April ✌️ after a much deserved spring break. #keeponglowing🕶 #springbreakfun
"Ms. Zega and Mrs. Edinger's class have been getting into the March Madness spirit! They have spent the month of March doing a March Madness Tournament of Books. Each day the students would listen to the 2 stories of the day and vote on their favorite. The final four included We Do Not Eat Our Classmates, A Tale of Two Beasts, Orion and the Dark, and Do Not Open This Book. Today we finished the tournament and crowned the winner, We Do Not Eat Our Classmates!"
Mrs. Farley's class would like to thank Domino's Pizza in Pontiac for the generous and delicious pizza donation! Our class met our goals and decided to celebrate with a pizza party; when Domino's offered to donate the pizzas we thought it was a perfect example of the rewards that come when you work hard and achieve a goal! Thank you again for your kindness, Domino's!

Congratulations to our final Treasure Chest winner - Will Diaz. The Book Blast is going strong as we approach these last few days of the event. It’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your 3 prizes, and help your child’s teacher earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If ALL the classroom students invite 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree.
