Wow! Bravo, Allie! The American History class at Wallace was looking critically at consumerism and advertisements from the 1920s. The students had amazing conversations during/after their Gallery Walk! #WhatInspirESU #TeachingStudies

Owls students had a Splashing good time at the Recreation Center today with Cassie Jarzynka Occupational Therapist. They learned some swimming skills and played water games! Other students took on the Basketball Court with three pointer tries- Swoosh! Great lunch at Ruby Tuesday's also.
Use PVC pipe to make a DIY sand and water table for kids! This sensory play table can change out to do either water or sand (or something else!)
This can be a great way for kids to experiment while learning.
