Pumpkins and pollinators made for a perfect fall field trip! Kindergarten and grade two extended their science learning to Keller's Kornucopia. Bee hives and the pumpkin patch made for a great morning! Thank you for letting us pick a free pumpkin!

Kindergartners are using their knowledge of plants to grow wheat grass for the chickens and lettuce for the tortoise! Caring kids!
Grades 1 and 2 extended their Fairytales and Fables Unit to the Overture Center! A delightful show of Peter Rabbit was followed by a tour of the Ruth Culver Community Library and playtime by the Wisconsin River. Great day!
🌻 Science was in full bloom in Kindergarten! The parts of plants and their functions were easy to see in the school garden. We are growing our learning!

Community helpers are everywhere! MCS 4K students learned about librarians, postal workers, delivery drivers, teachers, and more this week. They had a great walking field trip to the Merrimac Fire and Ambulance Station. Thank you to Ms. Tina and Ms. Bailey for telling us what fire fighters and EMTs do!
Thank you to the families and staff who helped winterize the garden, clean the duck pen, and prep pickets! Your volunteering makes our projects possible.

A field trip 400 million years in the making! Students visited #caveofthemounds for an amazing subterranean learning experience!
Students learned about how ground water moves, pollution, and the importance of preventing the contamination of our watershed.

The bumper crop of apples from the school orchard continues with apple art in Kindergarten and apple crisp in grade 3. The apple crisp modeled how the earth's crust and mantle are layered. Science is delicious!

Seed savers! Students in grade 2 have begun collecting seeds from native Wisconsin plants. In late winter, they will spread the seeds in the school prairie to improve the habitat. Conservation kids!
Fifth grade celebrated the end of a story in literacy by making pico de gallo from our school garden tomatoes to go with Carne Puerco and rice, which was a meal enjoyed by the characters in our story.

"Farmer Thompson had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. And on that farm there were some students, E-I-E-I-O." MCS 4K students had a great time learning about farms this past week. They learned what farmers do, about different farm animals and crops, and farm machinery.

Field trips ROCK! The geology at Parfrey's Glen was a great way to finish the week! Crossing the creek was a big highlight!
