Yesterday, Mrs. Arduino's 1st grade class planted a memory garden for Addy. ❤️
Thank you to ACE in Mokena for donating the bird bath.
Happy last day of school!! 🥳🥳
Mrs. Frainey's 5th grade class completed their “Greek Mythology Escape Room”, their culminating activity after reading “The Lightning Thief.” Students collaborated in small groups to complete four different challenges using various comprehension skills with passages on Greek Mythology. At each challenge there was a different method they had to use to crack the code. Once they had the 4 word phrase, they brought it to me to check. The group that got it correct received the scroll with the final riddle. They solved the riddle and found the hidden key to open the lock box with prizes inside! They loved the activity and had so much fun!
