6th graders were able to spend some time up close and personal with flowers this month. After a lesson on the anatomy of a flower, students took their flower apart, looking at all the parts. Students then got cutting and opened up their flowers to see what was inside, then used a dissecting microscope to observe the sections up close.
Mr. Frisbee from the Chippewa Nature Center visited Mr. Liechty’s class last week to talk about ecological weather. The 3rd graders learned about how the earth’s positioning to the sun affects our daily weather, played weather bingo, and then built shelters to protect animals from a disaster .

Congrats to the March employees of the month! These awards are granted based on staff nominations; final decisions are made by the Board.

For AmeriCorps Week, today's theme is "Thankful Thursday.:" Share a photo or memory that shows why you are thankful for something or someone in service.
Today, I would like to express my thanks to you, the Comet Community! It can be difficult to move to a new area, and adjust to new people, a new culture, and a new town. However, the school staff, students, and community members have always made me feel so welcomed! I have never felt like a stranger in Coleman, and I have sincerely appreciated the lengths that so many people have gone to, to help me find my place here. It truly feels like I've been in Coleman--and part of the Coleman Jr./Sr. High School team--for longer than two years. So, thank you!

March is Reading Month, and Coleman Elementary is packed with fun reading opportunities for students!
3rd-6th grade students were given bookmarks. When a student reads 10 books and completes their bookmark, they have the opportunity to turn that bookmark into a real book! Students then get to leave their mark by signing their name in the book before donating it to the library for future Comets to love and enjoy.
We can't wait for you to see how many books our upper elementary students were able to donate during our publishing day! Publishing day is March 20th from 2:00-2:30, following our 3-6th grade Book Bash from 1:15-1:45 (More information to come!)
