In honor of EMS Week, Sam Streeter and Brannon Anderson visited with students to teach them about Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the vital role EMS professionals play in public safety. They discussed what EMS does, how first responders help people during emergencies, and the important ways they serve and care for our community.
Here are Mrs. Throndson’s homeroom students with their special WordArt designs! ❤️
Each student’s classmates wrote positive adjectives and kind words about them. We took all of those amazing words and turned them into personalized WordArt creations. The students then chose a picture and colors that fit their personalities best! This was such a meaningful activity and a wonderful reminder of how important kindness and encouragement can be. Mrs. Throndson hopes each student keeps this to remember just how amazing, unique, and valued they truly are!

Today was our last day of rotations in 4th grade, and Mrs. Throndson’s two classes celebrated with a GLOW DAY! ✨💛
Students enjoyed glowing games, activities, music, and lots of fun while celebrating all of their hard work this year. It was the perfect way to end rotations and make some bright memories together!
These students truly SHINED today! 🌟
4th Grade students in Mrs. Conary's class have been learning about everything “Living Things”. From chicks, to food webs and chains, animal adaptations, to predators vs prey, and so much more! Check out two of the activities they did below:
Eat or Be Eaten: A game where students had to connect cards to see who could make the longest food chain. So much fun was had and competitive competition was had!
Beak Adaptations: Students used a variety of utensils such as tooth picks, chopsticks, a spoon, and tweezers to pick up different objects that represented bird food! Each utensil mimicked a different type of beak that is commonly found in birds!
Trevyn Smith, owner of Cake My Day, visited Bake Me Happy to talk about starting her own cupcake business. She shared her knowledge and experience with students.
Cooking Around the World finished their unit about Asia: China, Japan, and India. The students found these cultures so interesting. Here are a couple of pictures of their Asian labs. One group made crab rangoon, and two other groups made stir-fry dishes.
Advanced Foods (during their grilling unit) had a "smash burger competition." A huge thank you to our two judges: David Pitz and Jeremiah Cantu. It is a tough job, but someone has to do it! All of the groups' smash burgers were delicious, according to the judges, and two groups tied for first place. Many of Advanced Foods' students had never grilled before, so this was a great learning experience.
