Book Club

We are ending October by reading the novel "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon" by Grace Lin. The students are discussing their ideas about the book in book club groups. Ask your child for their review so far. 

Fall Wonka Fair


We had an amazing time today at the fall fair. The kids had the chance to play a lot of games. We displayed our fair trade projects, raced our engineered boats, and enjoyed a bubble show!

Barrett Park

We had a great time today. We geocached, looking for "treasure" using geographical coordinates. We completed a nature scavenger hunt looking at all of the different trees, leaves, and wildlife Barrett has to offer. Also we tested water samples for ph, alkalinity, and temperature. It was a great time at a beautiful place!

Life Flight Visits JA!

Today we had the awesome experience of watching the life flight heliocopter land in the back field. The pilot and crew told us about what they do to help those in need, and took questions from the classes. Students had a chance to jump inside as well!
