Biography Fair Success

What a day!  After months of hard work, reading, research, note-taking, planning and designing, the first annual DBS Biography Fair was a phenomenal hit.  All of the students were prepared, knowledgeable and "on stage" from 9-10:45.

Stop Motion

It's a dog eat dog world.  Oh, wait.  Dogs don't eat dogs.  Vielleux Crew kids know that.  We're learning about the interconnected webs that make up our world-- in our study of the food web.  Here are our stop motion animation  videos of food chains.  This was our first attempt at stop motion, and thanks to Miss Schneider, they were a huge hit!

Virtual Owl Pellets

Hey, Vielleux Crew Kids!  Check out this great site, where you get to "virtually" dissect owl pellets!  Try it online before we try it for real!

At snack today, without any prompting from adults, these kids set up a debate, picked parties and began to argue.  While their facts might need to be checked, their enthusiasm can't be rivaled!
