A field trip 400 million years in the making! Students visited #caveofthemounds for an amazing subterranean learning experience!
Students learned about how ground water moves, pollution, and the importance of preventing the contamination of our watershed.

The bumper crop of apples from the school orchard continues with apple art in Kindergarten and apple crisp in grade 3. The apple crisp modeled how the earth's crust and mantle are layered. Science is delicious!

Seed savers! Students in grade 2 have begun collecting seeds from native Wisconsin plants. In late winter, they will spread the seeds in the school prairie to improve the habitat. Conservation kids!
Fifth grade celebrated the end of a story in literacy by making pico de gallo from our school garden tomatoes to go with Carne Puerco and rice, which was a meal enjoyed by the characters in our story.

"Farmer Thompson had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. And on that farm there were some students, E-I-E-I-O." MCS 4K students had a great time learning about farms this past week. They learned what farmers do, about different farm animals and crops, and farm machinery.

Family Night at MCS was full of books, play, pizza and fun! Thank you for attending the Book Fair, dedication of the OmniSpin, Family Picnic and Home and School Association Parent Meeting!
4K had the best time learning about apples and fall this week! They practiced counting by measuring how many apples tall they are, worked on fine motor skills by tearing paper to make an apple craft, and made applesauce for snack using science. Learning in 4K is a lot of fun!

A musical, a hike, and a house full of history, oh my! Grades 2-5 spent the day in Portage with a triple trip. Students enjoyed the musical Alice in Wonderland at the Zona Gale Theater, then hiked and took in the history at the Indian Agency House. Great trip!
Acorns, bumblebees, and a big frog were highlights from the school prairie this afternoon. Second grade recorded observations in their nature journals from their "sit spots" around the prairie.
Our student scientists released monarch butterflies tagged for #monarchwatch! We hope they make it all the way to Mexico!
