It is hard to believe that the 100th day of school is here! Even though the official 100th day of school will be Monday, due to the snow day we had earlier this week, the staff and students at the Learning Center had fun with their planned celebrations today!
We had a lot of fun today celebrating the 100th day of school at the Learning Center.

This week Freeland students and staff are celebrating Kindness Week! Thank you Ms. Castillo and 6th grade students for planning fun activities for us.

Please remember Falcons, "In a world where you can be anything, be kind."
Students in Mrs. Lazarz's first grade class are studying how plants and animals use their structures to defend themselves from being eaten. Students used a clay ball to represent a living thing, and then used various materials to create structures to keep the comb, representing the predators teeth, from eating them. What a great way to explore some successful defense ideas!
After learning about owls this week, first graders in Mrs. Miller's first grade class dissected barn owl pellets to discover what they eat. They discovered several bones of their prey, including skulls, jaws, and the vertebrate of rodents.
Mrs. Neering's first grade class wrote letters to the veterans they personally know. What a great way to practice writing skills and honor the special people in their lives.
Mrs. Simon’s kindergarten class is working on matching different number representations to numbers 1 through 10. What a fun way to learn how to represent the same number in different ways!
