3rd grade students had a busy Friday with two presentations! One was with Ashley Dennis, 4-H Coordinator, MSU Extension. She made bouncy balls with the students, focusing on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) hands-on projects that help to develop skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration!
The second presentation was from Katie Urban, MI DNR. Students learned about invasive species, their characteristics and each student had a turn to manage their own pond for invasive crayfish! The number they rolled meant they had to add that many crayfish to their pond and were timed, trying to remove them all.
Today we are thankful to parent Kristy Searles for coming into our classroom to lead a special Thanksgiving project! We appreciate the planning and resources you provided and thank you for reminding us about the importance of gratitude! 🦃

TRIO Field Trip
We are currently looking to fill this position!
Mrs. Nasi and GOISD Reading Coach, Michelle Trier helped 3rd grade students kick off their new Science program, OpenSciEd. Students explored balanced and unbalanced structures. They took turns adding items, trying to keep the structure standing and problem solved if it fell over by rebuilding.
High School Art Spotlight 🎨🚁
Our 3D Design students kicked off the fall semester by exploring the world of drones! Students learned about drone laws and regulations, earned their drone licenses, practiced flying, and discovered how drones are used in both volunteer and professional settings.
We were also honored to welcome local artist and author Jake Ring to our classroom! Jake shared his passion for drone photography and inspired our students with his knowledge and experience. He was a wealth of information and an incredible speaker.
You can check out Jake’s artwork and his soon-to-be-published waterfall book at ringoproductions.com.
Thank you for your service Deputy Graser!
