Things got a little spooky in the library this week! Our 3rd-5th graders completed a haunted scavenger hunt using the online card catalog to search for nonfiction books on a variety of topics. Then they headed to the shelves to track down the books and uncover “haunted letters” that helped reveal a mystery word!
Ask your 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader if they know the mystery word!

Our first graders dug into learning with their annual pumpkin investigation! 🎃
Students measured pumpkins’ height, weight, and circumference (the distance around), learned about the parts of a pumpkin, and read about pumpkins. Then came the hands-on fun: feeling the insides and carving a pumpkin!
A little mess and lots of discovery brought reading, math, and science together!

A bag of everyday items. A brand-new invention. Just 60 seconds to sell it!
Our 3rd- and 4th-grade HAL students kicked off the program this week with a 60-second commercial challenge! Each group received a paper bag filled with random items and worked together to turn them into a product before pitching it to the group.
Their creative inventions included:
• Magnoculars: magnets and toilet paper tubes
• Fall Race board game: dice, a pumpkin, and a clothespin
• Febreze Sniffer 2.0: a rubber band and a sock
What a fun way to put creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork into action!
