Harry Potter club with apple brew made from dry ice!




Delivered OCM project

I was able to deliver our OCM project to the animal shelter yesterday.  They were very grateful for our donations and it was super hard for me to walk out without adopting one of the dogs!




Google Expeditions

I loved spending time with the  6th graders and Mr. Lane trying out the new Google Expeditions kit from GWAEA!  You could hear the excitement in the kids and it was such a cool experience!  We got to visit ancient Mayan and Aztec ruins.  We even got to go into space and walk on the moon!!!

OCM Service Project

This year my OCM group decided to gather supplies and make blankets to take to the Cedar Valley Humane Society.  They have been very excited about this project and we deliver all the goodies next Saturday!












Dot & Dash

We have this fun robot checked out for the month of December!  It has been a HUGE hit and I love watching the students trying to figure everything out.






153 New Free books from the warehouse sale!

Our book fair was such a huge success that I was able to get all these great books for free! Most have already been checked out!
