Our 5th graders have been hard at work as scientists in their classroom, closely observing worms and recording what they notice—just like real researchers! Students practiced patience, careful observation, and critical thinking as they watched how worms move, where they choose to settle, and how their environment affects their behavior.

Activities like this help students build curiosity, strengthen science skills, and make learning come alive. We love seeing our learners so engaged, thoughtful, and excited about discovering how the world works!

Mrs. Day is amazing, supportive, kind, ready to help, a wealth of knowledge, positive attitude, extraordinary, takes time to explain and teach new teachers, she is a joy to work with! She has been in education 27 years, is married, has 3 adult children, 6 grandchildren, loves the outdoors and KU basketball. Her goal this year is to increase her knowledge of the new programs to better support teachers and to continue to look for innovation ideas to help students. Her motivation comes from the Meadowlark Staff! Mrs. Buchman shows that she cares deeply about the students she works with, sets high expectations of students and knows they can achieve them, sets high expectations of those who interact with students, she accepts new challenges, uses different strategies to meet student needs, has a well-structured classroom, and does all she does for students willingly and without question! She has been in education for 40 years, is active in her church, has 2 adult sons, 4 grandchildren, loves to work outdoors in her flower beds and landscaping. She is motivated by student accomplishments- both big and small. Congratulations to you both!
