Mrs. Woods at Memorial School is so excited and grateful to have received a grant from the Taylorville Public School Foundation to create a sensory room for our students! ❤️
This space will give students who need a little extra support a place to regulate, reset, and find calm when the school day feels overwhelming. Sometimes having the right environment and tools makes all the difference. We can’t wait to bring this space to life!

🧈 A Little Taste of History! 🧈
To end the week, Miss Johnson's class took a step back in time. They learned how butter was made the old-fashioned way during science! The little scientists shook, mixed, and watched cream transform into butter. Bonus! They got to taste their homemade butter!

Mrs. Wagner's science classes were asked to help the alleycats. The allicats are in a unique bowling competition. In this competition, the competitors can change, not only the weight of the bowling ball, but they can also change the slope of the alley. Students constructed a scale model of the setup, then tested using heavy golf balls and light practice golf balls. After measuring and calculating the average distance each ball moved the pins. Students then determined which set up would be best for the alleycats to use during the competition. Ryleigh Settle said, This activity helped me understand kinetic and potential energy." Pictured are students completing the lab activity.
