What a great first week back at Baker-Butler!

We've had a great first week back of school! Our students have had a wonderful transition back to school. Here are just a few pictures of some of the exciting things that students have been doing this week:

We've been active inside during PE this week, as students have been playing games such as a version of capture the flag.

This student created a Tesla Coil over break as he's learning about electricity. This device will transmit electricity through the air to light this bulb without any wires or connections.

These students are working on our Maker Tubs in the library, where they get to build, create, design, and experiment with a number of hands on science and engineering challenges.



Second grade students are studying Native Americans, and they are building and creating structures and artwork as a part of their lessons.

Here are students sewing together grass mats to make a Native American house:








 These students are creating pottery that they'll paint with Native American symbols and designs.


 Here are buffalo skin weavings in the background and the representation of Pueblo housing.
Finally, these third grade students are finding examples of text features such as titles, bold print, and photographs.
It's been a great first week back, and we look forward to sharing more of the great things that are happening here soon.
