Taylor's students were recently delighted with a visit from Clark Planetarium.  Students were excited to watch experiments involving magnetism, electricity, air pressure, and atoms. The planetarium challenged students minds and made them rely on the scientific process to predict what was going to happen next.   Students were invited to participate in these science activities and were amazed at the final experiment which involved a large fire explosion from a balloon.  A favorite was being able to hold an actual meteorite!  Thank you Clark Planetarium for brining your science world to Taylor

Taylor kindergarten students in Mrs. Treana Kober and Mrs. Courtney Mahew's classes celebrated November 11th in many ways. They started the day by writing eleven words from around the room.  Then Mr. Daybell came by to share eleven things he is thankful for. Students were silent for eleven seconds, found out how far eleven steps can take us, ate the number eleven (two stick pretzels), divided the classes into groups of eleven, wrote the letter 'T' eleven times and had eleven-year-old buddied come and share stories with the classes!
