Mrs. Hale’s 5th grade artists’ first project was intended to usher in a new school year filled with positivity and joy. They are based on contemporary artist Chris Uphue’s work. In order to to get as much foot traffic past their art and spread that joy, we decided the kitchen was the best place to display their work. Our hope is that it brings a smile to those who walk by!

Meet our new 6th grade math teacher, Abby Estabrook. This is her first year teaching. She loves working with children and is super excited to get to know everyone! She played soccer at Mount Mercy (and every year since she was little). She also played basketball, cross country, and track. However, now that she is done competing she spends more of her time creating. She loves to craft, scrapbook, paint, and write stories/poetry. She also enjoys playing with her cats!

Students in Mrs. Knudson's 5th grade science class explored how and why shadows change throughout the day. Students traced their shadows in the morning and afternoon and compared the shadows to determine the position of the Sun as it appears to move throughout the day. Students will use this information to continue to explore and investigate what causes day and night.
