Mr. Brown returned to the classroom today - as a Community Hour teacher! Students in the Mindful Thrifting class have discussed what it means to be mindful, and their lesson today helped them understand what this means in neighborhoods. Engaged and challenged, students learned the history and nature of gentrification, as well as the difference between gentrification and revitalization. They also learned that their principals are still teachers, and their teachers are still learners!
Ms. Rosenbohm's morning bright futures class is learning about farming and farm animals this month. Today the students tried soy milk after learning about soybeans, the class had a great time learning how to compare and contrast soy milk to cows milk #ibtigerpride
