Everyone is Mrs. Tapper's class worked on a shared experience during bridge building. The next step will be reflecting on the experience on a planning guide before writing their personal narratives based on the activity. There was a lot of trial and error! This was also a great team building opportunity as they had to talk through their thinking and the process to work together to build one bridge that would hold a cup of items.

If you haven't heard from your student already, our school had a very special visitor this week! On Tuesday Miss Southwest Michigan, Shelby Lentz, was a guest on our morning announcements and read to our students. Shelby is an amazing talent. She sang the chorus of her song Champion during announcements and read the students her book, Brave Breanna. Look this young woman up, you will be very impressed with her music and her book.
