Pictures from National Lutheran Schools Week

On Wild Wednesday of National Lutheran Schools Week, the third and fourth grade students conducted a science experiment that they had started on their own over the weekend. Each student was to collect his/her own personal trash in a bag for the entire day and then bring it to school on Wednesday. We sorted through trash (Ewww!) and categorized our items into "Did Not Need to Use", "Recyclable/Reusable", "Cannot Reuse/Recycle." Then the students came up with ways they can better conserve their resources and not 

create so much trash. Surprisingly, they actually enjoyed themselves! Later on in the day, students got a surprise when "Teacher Switch" occurred and they had a new teacher every 15 minutes. Such fun!

On Fictional Friday, the students had the opportunity to dress up like a fictional book or movie character. Jack won from our class with his costume of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs!

L-R: Mrs. McLaughlin, or "Mary Ann," joined the rest of the staff in dressing up like the cast of Gilligan's Island, Jayden as Katniss from Hunger Games, Brayden as the pumpkin from Charlie Brown's The Great Pumpkin, Cayla as Laura Ingalls Wilder, Claire as Annie Oakley, Emily as "Samantha" from the American Girls series, Logan as "Steve Rogers," or Captain America, and Jack in his prize-winning costume.
