The sixth graders are studying plants and what they need to survive. They conducted an experiment where one plant received light and the other one did not. They observed the differences between the plants. Thank you, Sheila Huber and the Alma Garden Gate for donating the plants.

Mr. Ruff's 4th graders are in spiring us to 'Be _________' with a new bulletin board. He and his students integrated the use of dialogue. The 4th graders learned how to use quotation marks before or after the tag line. The bees and the flowers --full of color-- allow us to think about a new season.
