Ms. Wolf’s 2nd graders recently wrapped up their Cycles in Nature unit! 🐣 Throughout the unit, students explored different life cycles, including the exciting experience of observing the life cycle of a chick firsthand.
To celebrate the end of the unit, students had the special opportunity to adopt a baby chick! What an unforgettable way to bring learning to life and create lasting memories.

📢📢There has been a change in putting up and removing of the flags for Memorial Day in Ashton due to potential wind and storms this weekend. We will NOT be decorating tomorrow (Saturday). We will be decorating at 7 am Monday morning and then taking them down at 3 PM Monday.
Mrs. Ramsdell's fifth grade class attended The World War II Reenactment sponsored by the Franklin Grove Area Historical Society as part of the United States' 250th Anniversary celebration. The students asked a lot of questions and experienced a lot of hands on learning.
To help the third graders understand the different struggles and learning styles in the 1800's, Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. DuBois took the third graders to the Chana Schoolhouse Museum in Oregon, IL to experience a day in the life of a student in 1883. Along with traditional reading and arithmetic, the students learned penmanship, archaeology, and nature sciences. The favorite lessons overall were making candles, playing checkers, and using stilts. We wish to extend a most gracious thank you to the museum volunteers for an enjoyable learning experience.
