The 1st graders recently took a field trip to the Iowa Children's Museum. They had a great time using their creativity and imaginations during their play! A big thank you to the Longfellow Parent Group for funding this awesome field trip!
Friday was a beautiful day for releasing our butterflies in second grade!

Kindergarten just finished studying Colonial Towns and Townspeople in Reading Knowledge. Mrs. Beckner’s class worked hard and made their own butter. The students were shocked that it worked and loved taste-testing their product.
Remember that Thursday, April 20th is Dine Out For Your Schools! Visit: https://www.marion-isd.org/article/1074447 for all the details. #MISDinspire #MISDOwnYourFuture
Mrs. Tank’s second graders have been learning about insects in both science and their CKLA Knowledge unit. Students have already created informational narratives where they had to write from an insect’s point of view. ✍️ Today students were creating a diagram of their insect’s body. Have you seen any of these insects in your neighborhood this spring? 🦋🐜🐝🦗
Ms. Jenni's preschool class put a bean seed in a wet paper towel, put it in the window, and journaled what it looked like. A week later they looked at the seeds, observed the changes (like roots), and journaled again. Then they planted the seeds to see what will happen next.
Nothing like a spring field trip to the Gallagher Bluedorn Theater in Cedar Falls to make your Thursday awesome! ☺️ Second graders were able to see a performance of The Stinky Cheese Man. 🧀
Our K-2 students have been working for a few weeks to earn 3,000 paw prints. We hit the goal this week, so we celebrated with a school-wide Bingo Party Friday!

First graders recently finished a unit on the History of the Earth from our new Amplify reading series. In this unit they learned about the layers of the earth, volcanoes, geysers, rocks and minerals, fossils, and dinosaurs! To finish up the unit they made a geyser using Diet Coke and Mentos! We wonder if that is how Old Faithful looks. They also made a model of the earth and its layers using Play-doh. Can you name the 4 layers of the earth? We can!
