Kinders celebrated their learning about colonial times with hands on experiences. Learning Stations were organized so students could role play colonial times trades like a baker, carpenter, mason, farmer, cobbler and tailor. We also made stone soup and had a visit from a local farmer. Lynette Hudson, of Hudson farm in Meawataka, who brought in wool and told us about her farm with her angora goats, ponies and llamas!

Kindergarten students experienced the change of seasons and storms as we explored tornados, hurricanes, volcaoes and viewed a variety of seasons at Denali National Park in Alaska! We took a virtual field trip with our tour guide, Mr. Webb, from the Wexford Missaukee ISD. He brought us VR headsets and gave us an amazing tour that helped solidify our learning about the seasons and weather. Not only did we learn about the power of nature, we also learned about how to stay safe in a storm.
