The Ithaca School Board, as they do every year, provided the senior class of Ithaca with a delicious and hearty breakfast to prepare them for graduation practice this morning.
We are OUT! Early that is - TODAY HS and MS release at 12:35 PM.
Maggie Kershner may not be known as a serious TALKS TOO MUCH violator, BUT it appears she MAY be known to be "CHATTY" during math classes. As a "peace offering" (or maybe a way to "sweeten" up Mr. Andresen before finals) Maggie presented Mr. Andresen with the APOLOGY CAKE this morning. I LOVE end of the year antics! (And I love the use of a square root to represent a number)

Mrs. Pulvermacher's 3rd graders spent the better part of May learning about the Roman Empire in CKLA. Over the last 3 days they have worked hard in teams of 3-4 to create an aqueduct of their own. They were given the directions that their aqueduct needs to transport water from one location and end in 3 different locations (cups). The design was to not have any leaks and they could only use the materials provided in their bins. Those materials were: 150 popsicle sticks, construction paper, tinfoil, packing tape, straws and their 4 cups. They could use scissors and glue as well.

Ms. Sprecher's forestry class hosted the elementary students at the Ithaca School forest for the last time of the 2023-24 school year. Students PreK through fifth grade enjoyed a hike around the forest identifying animal tracks and plants of the forest. They were given a booklet to help them identify which animal the track belonged to. It also had pictures and information about both helpful and harmful plants they can find in the forest. Before they left to return to school, the students played a few games and did the team work exercise of centipede skis.
