After two mornings of MSTEP testing the students were able to enjoy the beautiful day and rest their brains after their hard work.
The teachers and staff are very thankful for their commitment to a growth and community mindset.

Good things in 5th grade science!
This week the science class introduced a tank of tadpoles into the classroom. Students are currently learning about ecosystems and this is a great way to incorporate a part of Michigan's ecosystem into our learning. Some of our tadpoles have been named (although we are unsure how to which one is actually Bob the next day). Students have asked so many great questions about tadpoles and frogs. They will continue to observe and learn about these incredible amphibians as we finish the school year.
