The First and Second grade class had a special guest reader come to the class last week. Ellen Thelen shared the story Applesauce Season by Eden Ross Lipson. Mrs. Thelen shared with the class her experiences with harvesting apples and how to make applesauce. She brought in her apple peeler that each student got hands-on experience to try and peel an apple to start the process of making applesauce. The students also got to enjoy some homemade applesauce that Mrs. Thelen made!
Our eighth grade agriculture students wrapped up their companion animal unit! Over the past couple of weeks students have learned about different cultural perspectives, what makes an animal a companion, and how to properly care for a pet.

Our Intro to Agriculture students have been learning about agriculture right here in Wisconsin! Students recently started a project exploring different counties across the state, researching the agricultural commodities each county is known for, and discovering which counties rank in the Top 10 for production. It’s a great way to connect what we learn in the classroom to agriculture happening throughout our state!

Our students are exploring the Classification of Living Things by discovering that scientists use characteristics to sort and organize living things into groups.
To help make this concept come to life, students practiced their classification skills in some fun and unexpected ways—by sorting different types of pasta and organizing playing cards! Through these hands-on activities, students identified similarities and differences, developed their own classification systems, and discussed how the characteristics they chose affected how items were grouped.
It was a fun way to see that classification isn’t just about memorizing categories—it’s about observing, identifying patterns, and using evidence to organize information!
