4th Grade had a fun finish to their week last week! On Thursday, they celebrated the end of their Language Arts Unit on Animal Defense Mechanisms by reading our Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Narrative with 2nd graders and Seniors.

On Thursday, January 19 Jewell Ouradnik came to speak to the Critical Thinking classes about decision-making, running a business and having it evolve, growing up as the 11th of 12 children in Door County, and the fire at Rowley Bay Resort.

T'was the night before Friday, and all through the halls
Many teachers were scurrying, to leave the school building.
The planning was ready on each little desk
In hopes that Friday would go quite smoothly
The children were all nestled in their homeward-bound transportation,
While visions of the weekend danced in their heads
And Mama in her Cheese Head and me in my Packers cap
Had just settled our brains for another Sports Day on Friday!
...
There was staff chatter in the hallway after students left today calling tomorrow an "Unofficial Packer Day" (Friday, January 19). As the teams dwindle in the playoffs, it's fun to see more of certain colors! Many of us hope to see more Green and Gold, but also support any other fans in a friendly competitive spirit! Feel free to wear your team colors tomorrow if you choose, many of us will be!
Happy Friday Eve Gibraltar!
