Three special Music Events in December:
This Saturday, Dec. 8 at 3 pm, the Southeast Iowa Symphony Orchestra is presenting a free HollyDaze concert at the Iowa Wesleyan Chapel in Mt. Pleasant!
Next Saturday, Dec. 15 from 5:30 - 6 pm, our students are singing for the Christmas Extravaganza at the Morning Sun Community Center! Lots of fun things happening for children that evening! 🙂
And finally, our special Christmas Program, "A Country Christmas" on Thursday, December 20 at 6:30 pm, will be presented by our preschoolers, our 5th and 6th grade band, and K-6 singers. Students are to look nice and meet their teachers in the lunchroom at 6:15! 🙂 The program starts at 6:30 pm and we will be honoring our veterans, too! 🙂
Morning Sun students were able to take trips relating to what they are currently studying using VR glasses. 6th Grade was able to tour Egypt. 4th Grade went to NASA's research center. 3rd grade was able to see Mexico City. 2nd grade was able to study different urban centers. 1st and Kindergarten went to the zoo and Santa's workshop.
Several 3rd-6th graders learned how to use iMovie to create a video during Ms. Clark's genius hour last Tuesday. They made a video about their favorite part about winter. We are excited to see what this week's videos look like! Stay tuned!

The 2nd Graders have been busy researching their animal, writing and typing their reports, building the habitat diorama, and then presenting and teaching the class. I am so proud of all their hard work. They did such a great job.
THE TAG-Honors students and some dads had a great time being challenged in a presentation by a local man, Dr. Brian Metzger, who is an astrophysicist and teaches at Columbia University in New York City. He is a Burlington HS Grad in 1999, got his BA from University of Iowa in 2003, his doctorate from University of California @ Berkeley in 2009, and was a NASA Einstein Postdoctoral Fellowship scholar at Princeton.
His presentation was entitled, "How Gravitational Waves Pointed Us to the Origin of Gold". He told us on Tuesday evening at the Capitol Theater in Burlington that 90% of the audience would understand 90% of what he was going to share that night. I think he was right! When his presentation was finished, there was a very interesting question and answer session.
His presentation was top-notch and all of us were glad to have gone. We talked about what we heard at McDonald's afterwards, which is always a fun place to decompress higher level information! Our students were inspired to strive to do better with their school work and to personally challenge themselves to learn more about science and math. 🙂
