First graders were lucky enough to have a surprise visit from Ms. Susan! We listened to a story about using our imagination and saw a bunny! #GameOnRailers
After reading a story about how Native Americans took care of the prairie by burning the grasses each year, the fourth grade classes were visited by Nathan Brunner, owner of Fire For Hire. His prescribed burning company assists farmers and landowners in restoring prairie grasses for animal habitat, invasive plant control, and grass rejuvenation. It was a great text-to-world connection to see that these things still happen today! #gameonrailers

Monday, students in Junior English were able to celebrate Halloween with various activities. For one activity, students had to draw a Halloween scene together, but there was a catch: each student had one part of the whole scene to draw, and they didn't know what they would draw until it was their turn.
