1st graders are loving the new ChompSaws that were added to Technology and Innovation class! These are kid-safe power tools that allow the students to easily cut cardboard and bring their inventions to life! We are no longer burdened with the difficulty of cutting cardboard with scissors. We can create and invent anything we want out of cardboard with these new tools. We have 5 new ChompSaws in the STEAM Lab. Thank you to Cuyuna Lakes Education Foundation for providing the funds to make this possible!

Third graders, in Mrs. Judd's class, took a deep dive into the book 'Amos and Boris,' by William Steig. A great book about friendship! Do you remember this book?
