When the school’s social worker and learning coach realize that donuts make everything better, they go & make a regular Friday morning even more exciting! Staff was encouraged to bring in donuts from their favorite bakery to share! Thanks Ms. Rubin and Mrs. Sutton! 🍩 #21Learns

Longfellow is happy to welcome our students back to school today! We know that many kids will be ready and willing to share what they did over break, but we'd love to hear from you! How did everyone spend their time away from school? Comment below! #21Learns

Everyone: Learning about pushes and pulls in science is BORING.

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Doerre’s class read the story Snowflake Bentley and then *finally* got a chance to head outside to collect snowflakes and examine them closely. ❄️ #21Learns

Miss Debbie from the Raupp Museum came to the 4th grade classrooms on Monday. Students learned more about Westward Expansion. The students even got to simulate packing a covered wagon for a journey west. #21Learns

4th graders are learning about robotics with our new Edison robots. In these pictures they are experimenting with creating lines for Edison to follow after scanning a barcode. There has been a lot of great collaboration and critical thinking already! #21Learns
