The first graders are having fun learning about shadows and how they move.










Third grade took a fun trip to Plagman Barn yesterday!










🌿📚 The 5th grade class took their learning outdoors this week with School of the Wild at Motor Mill!
Students were able to learn some orienteering skills, how to use atlatls, aspects of forestry, some history of the Mill, and information regarding prairies. Lots of fun and learning was had, along with a few(or more) cuts and bug bites... but we all survived!
We are very thankful for the help of our Osborne Naturalists that help make this opportunity possible!
