Mr. Seeger’s class did such an awesome job with their Astronomy unit, they have all been invited to be astronauts in training!
Fries go good with everything!!! And today 1 cup of French Fries were pared with 10 Chicken Smackers, 1 package of gold fish crackers, 3/4 cup of corn, 1/2 cup mixed fruit, an orange and milk!
Fry-science (not taught by Mr. Berg or Ms. Twohy)-- French fries were invented in Beligum, not France! The term "french fries" came from American soldiers during WWI. The average American consumes 30 pounds of french fries in a year! Originally, french fries were traditionally served with mayonnaise, not ketchup! Two men from Buffalo, NY hold the world record for the largest fry-- 34 inches long!! Although there are rumblings one might be out there that is longer! Can you find it???
Thanks to our Food Service staff for these fun and insightful posts this week!
You can call it "basketti"... or "pasgetty"... or "tomato noodles"... no worries!
Spaghetti is the Italian fare that's a favorite with most Americans! Did you know that spaghetti was "invented" over 1000 years ago? Or that the largest ever serving of spaghetti filled a swimming pool? The world record for the largest bowl of spaghetti is held by the Buca di Beppa restaurant in Garden Grove, California. In March 2010 they filled a swimming pool with more than 6,251 kg of pasta and 100 gallons of marinara sauce! Our lunch ladies make a lot of spaghetti for our students but not enough to fill the Community Pool! Hmmm... or DO they????
We had spaghetti today-- each student received 1 cup spaghetti, 2/3 cup of marinara sauce, 1 cup of lettuce salad with choice of dressings, 3/4 cup green beans, an apple, a banana, breadstick and milk.
Pizza! Pizza! PIzza!
Our Pretty, Peppy, Professional Preparers of Pepperoni Pizza were at it again today! Thanks to Lara, Sue, Audra, Amanda, Amber, Diane, Karen, Linda and Lynn, for making and serving us a great meal of a yummy pepperoni pizza slice, 1 cup of salad with choice of dressings, 3/4 cup broccoli, a pear AND a kiwi and milk. Does it get any better than this on a Wednesday? I think not!

Second grade is working on numbers up to 1,000. Today, we counted and organized sticks. Bundling them into 100s, 10s, and 1s then adding them together.
Third-grade student Izzy Peterson recently broke the Grantsburg Elementary school record for the flex-arm hang during winter Physical Education fitness testing. The old record was just set in the Spring of 2022 by Maleah Luke with a time of 132 seconds. Peterson broke Luke’s record by three seconds. Congrats Izzy!
Second grade has been learning about habitats and animal adaptations. We did an experiment called "blubber glove" to replicate how whales stay warm in the Arctic waters.
First graders made Aztec chinampas, which are "floating gardens" as they learned about the Aztec civilization.
