Spring Break and the Week of 3/31/2025
A Message From Mr. Johnson:
Hello Sandhill Families,
We had a fun and memorable week before Spring Break! Here are a few highlights:
-
Our 4th and 5th graders had the exciting opportunity to collaborate with Forward Madison FC to help design their new mascot. It was an engaging and creative experience that connected our students with a larger community effort.
-
Our Kindergarteners went on a field trip and followed it up with a "Day Without Technology" to help them understand what school was like in “the olden days.” This activity ties in beautifully with their Wit & Wisdom module, "America Then and Now", which explores the ways American life has changed over time through traditions, inventions, and daily experiences. It was a fun and meaningful way to bring their learning to life!
We hope you all have a safe and restful Spring Break. We’ll see everyone back at Sandhill on Monday, March 31st at 7:35 AM!
Best,
Bob / Mr. Johnson
