On Early Release Day, Science time was spent working on a science engineering challenge in Mrs. Weddle's classroom. The engineering challenge was to design, build, test, and explain a system that will cause a ping pong ball to demonstrate at least 2 changes in motion.

2nd Grade is having a blast in music class! They are doing a soundscape story, where they're using instruments as sound effects to enhance the story (and song), “In the Hall of the Mountain King.”

We had a very busy two months in the library!

Did you spot these cones at dismissal today?! Ms. Frohbieter and Mrs. Welch brought the Halloween spirit a little early by dressing up as traffic cones! We’re so thankful for our teachers who bring a smile, a little laughter, and extra fun to our school days.

Our wonderful music teacher Mrs. Spencer won a travel grant from LEAF to attend the Texas Music Educators Association Conference in February! #LamarCISDLEAF

This week in STEM Lab with Mrs. Welch, we had a turkey-tastic time reading How to Catch a Turkey! After enjoying the story, our young engineers took on an exciting challenge: creating their very own turkey traps using only two materials, popsicle sticks and clothespins.
