On Earth Day, Mrs. Swanson’s 3rd graders got creative with rock painting, adding bright colors and inspirational messages to spread a little positivity! We will be placing some of our rocks by the school’s flag pole to welcome everyone who comes in with a smile, and they each made a second one to take home and share a message even further.
Such a simple activity, but a great reminder that small acts of kindness can make a big impact—on our planet and each other.

Ms. Reck's and Ms. Leber's classes came together to work in groups on a fun and challenging cargo paper airplane project. Each group was given two sheets of paper and three pennies, which their airplane had to carry while flying. Students worked collaboratively to design planes that balanced creativity with the ability to travel long distances despite the added weight. During testing, each group was given three chances to throw their airplane and achieve the farthest distance possible. This activity encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and hands-on learning as students experimented with different designs.
