HS Baseball vs Blue Valley, 3/26
Game 1: 16-1
Game 2: 16-6
Mrs. Jacobsen's 5th graders have been hard at work bringing history to life! As they've been learning about the first 13 colonies, students took on the challenge of building their own log cabins- just like the early settlers would have done when European countries began colonizing America.
With limited supplies, uneven "logs", and the added challenge of unpredictable conditions, students quickly realized how difficult it would have been to build a home or fort back then. There were definitely moments of frustration, but their perseverance paid off!
In the end, the classroom was filled with proud smiles as students admired their completed cabins. What a fun and meaningful way to experience history firsthand!

Pop tabs are due at the elementary school on Tuesday, May 12th! We are honored to get to send the tabs that we have collected this school year with Brigstyn Petrik when she goes to her doctor! EVERY YEAR, pop tabs are collected at the elementary school and the students are encouraged to bring them in anytime. Mark the bag for what grade your student/students are in and the weight will be added to their grade level total. At the end of the year, the grade with the most weight PER STUDENT will recieve a prize! And, as always, the real prize is getting to provide a gift to the Ronald McDonald House that provides housing for families of sick children. Contact Rachel Gibson, rgibson@usd111.org, with any questions
