Its hard to believe, but summer will be here in only four weeks! With six weeks of summer vacation, we would love to visit our girls every day, but us teachers are going to need some help!
Would your family be interested in helping maintain our garden and chickens for a week over the summer? Send Mrs. Argus an email at argusm@ips.k12.in.us and let her know! You are welcome to sign up with other families as well and share the responsibilities, or sign up for a whole week yourself. Chicken and garden stewardship is super fun and when maintained properly, should be very easy. Plus, you get free eggs and veggies- YUM!

Hi there! So, I just wanted to apologize for the delay in posts. We do not have internet service at our new house so I have not been able to get posts done. Tomorrow night though we are supposed to get internet service so then I will be able to get back to the posts each night.
This week we had an amazing turn out for the Space Presentation! Thank you so much for coming and supporting all of the children in the class! Like I said that night, I was so proud of each child presenting! They were so proud of their work and just soaked in all of the attention that you all brought! Thank you for making it a special night!
Mr. Nored’s last day with us was today. The kiddos were so sweet making cards for him all day, hugging him, telling him they were going to miss him. It was precious. He has become part of our classroom community so we will definitely miss him, but he has a bright future ahead of him in Brownsburg!
Yesterday we started talking about the astronauts (us) coming back into space and how that happens. We discussed how we know of two ways that astronauts come back into space. They either land their shuttle like an airplane or they come back and land in water for a safe landing. So…I brought in some eggs yesterday and the children decorated them like themselves. Then, today we started making homes for them out of found materials (styrofoam bowls, cups, paper towels, etc.). Tomorrow we are going to drop them from the top of the slide out on the playground to see if we constructed a safe enough home for our astronaut! The kiddos are super excited for this astronaut egg drop so pictures will be coming to show what happens tomorrow afternoon!

The day was perfect! All day long, classes came and supported one another in preparing and planting the garden. We tilled, mixed soil, planted, mulched, and watered. We were so lucky the weather was spectacular, too. The kids seemed so happy and proud of their work. Such a wonderful day.
