Mrs. Phillips' class has had so much fun making their own snacks during summer school! This week, we made dirt and worm cups and no bake apple pies!
Fun and Fritz Adventure!
We had a blast at Fritz Adventure today!
Today was Apple Day in Mrs. Phillips' class. We bobbed for apples and made straw towers. The towers were supposed to be at least 6 inches tall and be able to support an apple. They didn't all pass the test, but the students had fun trying!
The 3rd - 6th grade students had fun painting with Brush Hour Studio on Tuesday!
More summer school fun! Pancakes, caterpillars, and painting!
Mrs. Phillips' class had another great week at summer school!
