Norse Explorers Sailing from Iceland to Scandinavia -Mrs. Rausch's 3rd graders studied Norse Mythology and Viking Exploration through our Amplify Curriculum. They wrote character descriptions to go along with the myth God's, Giants, and Dwarves. They, also, studied how Leif Erikson founded America and called it Vinland in the year 1000 CE. They went on a Viking Quest and sailed the Atlantic as Norse Explorers looking for new resources to bring home to Scandinavia. Here are they are rowing across the Atlantic! Keep learning 3rd grade! #TVPride

Good luck to our Robotics Team as they travel to the Corn Dog Classic hosted by Cedar Falls. This is a scrimmage opportunity with different teams from around Iowa to provide practice before the Regional Competition in March. There's no set matches and the teams are able to get on a practice floor to practice individual parts of the competition in the morning. Then in the afternoon there will be practice exhibition matches similar to the Regional Competition where teams join together to create alliances and compete against another alliance. Best of luck! #TVPride
