At McKinley this month, Mr. George's and Mr. Griebe's classes met up for a fun craft day with mini-pumpkins and gourds!

Students each got to pick their own gourd and create a friendly monster out of it. Students had a blast exercising their creativity while using all kinds of craft materials (colored pom-poms, googly eyes, popsicle sticks, etc.)!

After finishing their creations, each class then wrote short stories about their friendly gourd monsters and shared them with their partners.

Mr. George's 1st graders and Mr. Griebe's 3rd graders try to pair up and do an interactive learning craftivity like this every few weeks and the students really enjoy it!

4th grade Prairie Science Class students helped with cutting willows out of the prairie. Although willows make great habitat for a variety of wildlife species, it is also considered an invasive plant that will crowd out prairie grasses and flowers.

Students learned the importance of "Keeping the Prairie a Prairie" and were able to use leather gloves, goggles and loppers to safely cut willows and remove them from the prairie.
