A big Wildcat thank you to Vernon County ADRC and Climb Theater for presenting the play, "Grandpa and Lucy" to our elementary students. The students really enjoyed the interactive presentation and learned about how we can care for family members who have dementia.
The middle school students decorated classroom doors for a holiday contest. This gives students the opportunity to work together and get creative.
Girls Basketball Tuesday, December 6th
Students in Transportation and Energy have been working hard designing and building a bike generator. The purpose of the project is to learn about electricity and how it's generated and produced. This week the group reached some major milestones where they actually got the bike running and produced power to energize a few devices. The students thought it was pretty cool when they connected the bike to the 18 volt milwaukee shop radio and got it to work only while pedaling, when they stopped pedaling the radio stopped working. They have also been very surprised at the amount of work it takes to generate electricity. They have attempted to run a cordless drill, but their legs aren't quite strong enough to energize a tool that requires that much power. The class's future goal is to purchase a 12v blender and set the bike up for students to make their own smoothies with some pedal power!

Friday, December 2nd events.
Creative play in 4K!
"Jail the Mice," is a game where 4K can use their imagination and color coordination. The 4K students enjoyed using their skills to chase the running "mice" as they scampered under the curtain into the court. Then once caught, the mice patrol were able to put each mouse in their team's colored hula hoop. This kept the students scampering and squealing, in hopes of playing one more round of catching those pesky mice this time of year!
The kindergartners are getting in the holiday spirit! They were able to get creative with some winter crafts while also targeting foundational skills such as fine motor, hand-eye coordination, and problem solving. The kids love having time for creativity during the busy learning day!
Events for Thursday, December 1st.
