We found 4th grade Comets warming up in P.E. Class with some cardio drumming today! Cardio drumming uses drumsticks, and a bucket (or exercise ball), students are able to mix in fun moves while drumming along to music. What a fun and rhythmic way to warm up!
It's time for the Elementary Main Event! Check out all of these trustworthy Comets!
March snow makes the BEST snowmen!!! Or at least that's what we hear from Comets at the ELC!

Elementary TAG Mystery Meet with Kelly Daufeldt!
Today 4th grade TAG students did a Mystery Meet. The way it works is, we connect with another teacher/class in the country and the students take turns asking yes/no geographical questions until they can narrow down the state that we have connected with. Afterward, we share information and fun facts about each other's city and state. It was our 6th time meeting with another state's class. Today we connected with 4th-grade students in a suburb of Kansas City, Kansas!
Our Preschoolers are LOVING this March snow!
Congratulations Kelsey Joens on being selected Iowa Gatorade Player of the Year! #WLCometPride
