4th graders ended their economics unit today by participating in a market day. Students had to design a product and sign for their booth. They used classroom money that they have worked hard to collect to shop at other students' booths. It was a successful day and there were so many unique items! Way to go 4th graders!
Mrs Ruppert's Exploratory Ag students finished up their second project for the semester, just in time for Mother's Day last week. They made some awesome planter box's that turned out great! We had a beautiful day on Friday for some flower transplanting to get them ready to take home for Mother's Day gifts.

On Thursday, May 16th, Holly Kelly, with The Learning Technology Center of Illinois, will host two virtual sessions for guardians:
"Navigating the Digital Seas our Students & Children Explore"
Our students and children are sailing through pretty choppy waters in the digital seas. Amid digital learning and consumption rigors, many young people are under unprecedented mental pressure. Even the typical challenges of youth and adolescence are magnified online, making it much harder to find a safe harbor.
How can we effectively address some of these stressors? What role can technology play in supplying that relief? How do we help our children thrive digitally and keep them safe online?
Join us as we chart technology's profound impact on today's students and their developing brains. On this voyage, we'll explore what and how digital media, social media, computer literacy, and AI intersect with today's youth's daily lives. Along the way, we'll uncover how to empower our children in their digital and oxygenated lives.
Sessions are not recorded.

Ms. Henkel discovered that some of her Intro to Art high school art students did not know what a "Marble Run," was. A plastic toy marble run set was brought into PHS for inspiration along with a youtube video. 4th hour art students are working in groups together to create custom cardboard-plastic-duct tape marble run mazes. Enjoy the photos!
