Today 2-3rd grade made coffee filter art flowers to be arranged in a bouquet for someone special to our school. We also walked to the Galatia Public Library for a story and two crafts. Everyone received a FREE book and was able to check out books using their new library cards. The librarians were so wonderful and we thank them so much for showing us all of the resources the library has to offer!
Air Evac will be at the grade school tomorrow. Please do not be alarmed when you see them. They are coming to talk to the kids at summer school.
K-1 had some special visitors today. Harrisburg Police Chief Officer Moore, Officer Bergman, and the K-9 came to teach our kids how the police and the K-9 keep us safe. They even showed the kids some demonstrations of what the dog can do. They showed how he could track, how he helps the cops on the job, and that he likes to have fun too. All of the kids really enjoyed. Thank you officers for coming.
2-3rd grade focused on seeds and flowers today! Our SEL focus was on the book "Bad Seed" and we made puppets to enjoy. Then, we used magnifying glasses to look inside flowers and dissected one to look at the insides while learning about all the different parts. We finished off the morning by making "dirt cups" with gummy worms for a snack.
What an amazing day in summer school! K-2 visited Seeking Sensory where we had a wonderful time exploring all the fun sensory activities!
2-5th Summer School Saline Creek Pioneer Village & Museum (cont)
2nd-5th grade Summer School toured the Saline Creek Pioneer Village & Museum today. The new Native American petroglyph exhibit was incredible! It's hard to believe it's 1,000 years old and was taken from a cave not far from here. There were so many pieces of history that started some amazing conversations. We walked inside and explored the original Poor House, the one room school house, Post Office/Country Store, jail, Blockhouse, cabins and a Quaker Church. Mr DeNeal was a wonderful guide and we thank him so much for taking the time to visit and lead us through history! (Photos continued in a 2nd post)
Don't forget! Monday is a holiday and Summer School will not be in session. We will resume classes Tuesday-Friday.
