The Sequim Gazette donates its weekly paper to Brooke Hoefler’s fourth-grade class. Our ELA warm ups include reading and discussing local happenings and events in our community. This is a great opportunity for students to become aware and more involved in their home town. Thanks for your weekly donation!

Local artist Carrie Rodlend visited Jasmine McMullin’s fifth grade class to do an art lesson on the connection between geometry and art, specifically parallel lines. Rodlend had students create oil pastel cakes using parallel lines.
