Volcano

Alex really wanted to make his own volcano!✓

We made our own playdough, built the volcano and made it "erupt" multi-colored! AS Alex said, "It was EPIC!"

Remote Learning - Week 13 (Final Week)

Kranz Academy successfully passed four kiddos to the next level after three months of remote learning. 

Kate and Max had a fun week of final farewells on google meet, journal wiring, memory book making and an awesome fifth grade video which included a speech by the President!  

Anna had a blast with her Disney themed week.  Different virtual games and a virtual field trip each day and activities that really got her creative jucies flowing. Anna amazing me every day with her innovative ideas.

Alex had a fun week of learning from his friends via Zoom.  Each friends was encouraged to share/teach/show something special with the class.  There were read alouds, craft projects, garden tours, science demonstrations, dances and visits by special guests.  Alex taught his class how to make boats with pool noodles and toothpicks. Kate read the class a story - What Would You Do With an Idea?

Mimi lent me a bike! Alex offered to help me learn to ride a bike. :)  Kate was worried that Finn was going to be too much for me, so she insisted on keeping him on the leash with her.   We had a blast exploring at a much faster pace and Finn got lots of time OFF leash (don't tell the dog police) running with his pack! 😊

I am so proud of how each one embraced this new way of learning. They really learning how to work together, problem solve and make the most of our time together.

Blasting Into Summer

We wrapped up our final day of the 2019-2020 school year with a huge water fight, movie, make our own pizza and popcorn balls.

DONUTS

Seriously, Kate made cinnamon sugar donuts from SCRATCH! 

They were AMAZING!!!

That 25lb bag of flour is almost gone!😲

Graduation Drive Thru

Kate and Max have definitely looked forward to this day - drive thru graduation!  We could not wait to decorate our car, put on our dresses, let down our hair, and wave, scream and cheer as we passed by friends and teachers. I do not know who was more excited - the kids or the teachers?!?!  We actually went through the parade twice (we have two graduates after all).   Driving past all the teachers and administrators that have shaped their elementary experience and caused them both to develop a LOVE for school and learning was very powerful and quite memorable!

 

Middle School...here we come!
