3rd Graders Love Gems & Minerals!
03/09/2020
It was too far for the David L. Rainer Tigers take a field trip to the mountains, so the mountains came to them today. 3rd grade students had the opportunity to go gem mining through Diamond Del's Mobile Gem Mining. Students delighted in sifting for treasure and making geological discoveries without ever leaving DLR. All the rocks, minerals and gems collected by the students were theirs to keep and the memories made were priceless.

The Last 26 Days of Kindergarten
04/26/2019
Mrs. Miller’s class is celebrating all of our hard work this year by using the 26 letters of the alphabet to count down the last 26 days of school. Each day we do a different activity that starts with that letter of the alphabet. A was for airplane – we learned how to construct paper airplanes and then watched to see how far they could fly. B was for bubbles – we went outside and enjoyed some bubble fun. C was for clouds – we read “It Looked Like Spilt Milk”, then made and wrote about our own cloud shapes. D was for dance – we put on some music had fun. E was for exercise – we got our wiggles out with some extra recess. We can’t wait to see what the next 21 days bring!
