🧈 A Little Taste of History! 🧈
To end the week, Miss Johnson's class took a step back in time. They learned how butter was made the old-fashioned way during science! The little scientists shook, mixed, and watched cream transform into butter. Bonus! They got to taste their homemade butter!

To celebrate Deaf Awareness Month, Miss Johnson's 4th grade class had a VERY special guest, Sophia Yeazle, join them for a wonderful visit! Sophia signed a book while Miss Johnson read it aloud, and everyone absolutely loved the experience. 💙

The whole class learned so much about Deaf culture and communication, and they even had fun learning a few new signs that they can use in our everyday lives! What a special and meaningful experience for everyone! 🤟

Memorial School is excited to start collecting aluminum can tabs for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Illinois!

We’ll kick off second quarter, starting October 13th, and keep collecting through the end of the school year.

Pencils? Checked. Backpacks? Checked. Coffee? Double-checked. ☕

Officers Dees and Nichols are officially on hallway patrol and ready to kick off the new school year! Wishing all students, teachers, and staff a fantastic first day back. Don't forget to say hi when you see us in the halls! 👋

Brainiacs in Ms. Donovan’s 4th grade class at Memorial have a challenge for School Resource Officer Dees! They are planning a Blooket challenge on social studies review topics, and the students are feeling pretty confident. In fact, some of them think Officer Dees might be a little too intimidated to accept the challenge. Officer Dees, what do you say? And don’t worry, our students are ready. When it comes to social studies, we are studying every bit of information and not leaving any crumbs behind.

Mrs. Salazar's 4th grade class concludes their animal adaptations unit with owl pellet dissections.

Mrs. Salazar's fourth graders had a blast exploring block coding with Finch robots, on loan from the ROE. Students worked in teams to program the robots to follow paths, change colors, and make sounds. The project was a hit, building both teamwork skills and a passion for technology.
