Mrs. Brown's and Mrs. Calderon's second graders had Millie's dad (Jaycob Brugman) come into their class recently to talk to the students about his experiences palying Major League Baseball for the Oakland A's. He talked about hard work, setting goals, and never giving up. He brought his baseball mitt, jersey and even left an autographed baseball for the class.

Exploring Energy Transfer

Submitted by becky.manning on

Fourth graders in Mrs. Taylor's class have been exploring energy transfer. They used cups and tried multiple ways to connect them. The best way they found was to use a thin cotton string. Perhaps they have found a new way to communicate while wearing masks!
