West Elementary is full of laughs on April Fools Day! In Mrs.Roeder’s class they had an Easter egg hunt with no eggs and learned all about how marshmallows grow on a farm. Mrs. Mason made “brown E’s” to give to her class. She made sure to give them a real one after she fooled them. It was an exciting day down in the kindergarten corner!

Kindergarten/T-1 has been working on a plant project based learning activity for redesign. They have been examining different seeds and watching them grow. Each student has their own plant they are observing and watching for change everyday.

Mrs. Hollern’s class played Floor is Lava!! Such a fun way to practice math facts 😄 The class works together to create and solve math facts. Sums on the floor are taken away once students move...last person standing WINS!

Congratulations Mrs. Berls on being nominated as USD 352 Goodland’s elementary teacher of the year. And congrats to Mr. Shane Hollern for be nominated as our secondary teacher of the year. Good luck tomorrow to you both as compete to be the Region 1 Teacher of the year.
