The 6th graders at Spring Lake Elementary had a rare treat. Dr. Orullian who has worked in the past as a NASA Ambassador came and taught our 6th grade students. He had all the students attention as he talked about the universe, distance in space and  planets.  The students were especially interested in discussing black holes and what happens to stars that die.

Third-grade students brought in some orange looking friends. This term’s activity was to decorate a pumpkin that looks like a character in a book they were reading at home. We had a great response from students. You could really tell which book  the students were reading because of the great way their pumpkins were decorated. Students had fun sharing book summaries, and describing their character. Well done third-grade students.

Spring Lake Elementary teachers have been working with Mrs. Lisa Bean a district art specialist to integrate drama in with their core. Here students are involved in a decision alley where they are trying to convince the person walking down the middle to side with them. The task was to decide if they should build the settlement near the river or not. Some said it could flood, others argued they did not want to carry the water a long distance to camp.
