After completing a reading module with the theme "Imagine! Invent!" and learning about inventors and inventions in the social studies and science curriculum, all Mintonye third graders received a visit from the Purdue University Women in Construction Management Honor Society. During their presentation, students listened to a story detailing the building process and learned about the field of Construction Management in addition to the school subjects that are needed for that career. Students also participated in a question and answer session, learned about the important safety gear worn by those in construction, and then designed their own hard hat.

The students in Mrs. Frey’s First Grade class had Peep Day on Friday April 18th! They participated in a Peep taste test where they sampled Cookies and Cream, Cotton Candy, Party Cake, Rice Krispie, Watermelon, and Classic Flavors. The students voted and decided Cookies and Cream was the best flavor! They completed centers including a Graphing Center, Compound Word Center, and Long Vowel Sound center. Each student also practiced their math facts by hunting for eggs that were filled with math facts. These First Graders finished up the day with an Egg Hunt! It was an EGGcellent Day!
