Go Jase!
Officer McKinney dropped by to read to the first-grade class. Students loved hearing Buddy the Blue Corgi: Decisions Matter written by Suzanna Lynn. Buddy goes on all sorts of adventures with his brothers, Donut and Salem. A trash bandit is leaving a mess in the kitchen and Buddy gets blamed. The story is about how Buddy solves the mystery, and the animals all learn that telling the truth is always best. Interesting Fact: Buddy is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, a real dog, who lives in Southwest Missouri. Officer McKinney shared about her belt of tools that she wears with students and answered questions.
Thank you Officer McKinney! We cannot wait until your next visit with first grade!

Force, Motion, Friction, and Energy
Dr. Hammerschmidt’s First Grade class and Mr. Madsen’s High School Physics class collaborated to use Hess Trucks to explore force, motion, friction, and energy. Students used trucks and dragsters to conduct experiments and explore trial and error, adjustments, replication and consistency.
