PICTURES THIS WEEK: I will be putting a lot of pictures on the blog at different places, but there will always be more at the bottom of the blog. 

 1. The Second Graders have been studying simple machines.  As an activity, they had to use what they learned to put together a more complex machine that had a purpose.  

  
2. The 4th Graders have been studying owls, and culminated their unit with dissecting owl pellets to see what the owls had eaten and regurgitated in the pellets. They absorb the animals and throw up the pellet with the skeletons  

3. Love the interactions between our older students and our younger ones.  Here is one of our Upper School students reading a book to our Pre-kindergarten and Junior Kindergarten students and he had their undivided attention.
