Our Earth Science, Chemistry and AP Environmental science classes toured the Gogebic-Iron Wastewater Treatment Facility with their teachers, Mrs. Jacisin and Mrs. Bissell. This was an exciting opportunity for our students to learn about the processes that remove and treat our wastewater to create safe and disease free effluent and biosolids that can be released back into our environment.

We were excited to have Serena Mershon-Lohkamp, chemistry teacher from GCC, and Rayona Suelflow, GCC student and 2nd grade parent join Mrs. McRae’s classroom Friday afternoon! The students were able to do three science activities. They learned about chromatography while making coffee filter flowers. Then, they learned about cells and were able to view samples under a microscope. Last, the students learned about the science of making ice cream. While the salt made the ice melt, their ice cream ingredients began to freeze! Thank you for spending your afternoon with us!

Claire Eitrem earned "Teacher Chair for the Day" through the PTO fundraiser. She had fun sitting in Mrs. Wolfe's chair for the day!
Mrs. Wolfe did a lesson on "How to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud..." The kids had a rainbow template with the color words inside and used the torn paper method to create their rainbows. We completed the writing portion of the assignment just prior to the Packers assembly. Many of the kids connected what the team's message was to what THEY HAD JUST DONE!
