We are the Forest

Yesterday we were visited by brothers Nate and Nick Ayers (Nick is also a noon hour supervisor here at Angell) to learn about the importance of forests and our role in helping to take care of them.  We also heard beautiful music played by Nick on instruments from around the world.  Nate and Nick also brought in a real live biodiverse native forest of trees, and we visited our Outdoor Learning Area to observe some of our own plants growing on the Angell School grounds.

Field Day

A wonderful time was had by all on Field Day! Thank you to all the parents (including Najean's mom, Grieta's mom, Elsa's mom and Levi's mom) who came out to run stations and/or visit.

Michigan Radio!

Today we had the wonderful opportunity to visit the station at Michigan Radio / WUOM.  The lovely Jennifer Guerra took us on a tour of the station, and we got to meet a few reporters who taught us about their specific roles at Michigan Radio. We learned a lot about the ins and outs of how a radio station operates, and also got a chance on the mics in the studio!  Huge thanks to Charlotte's mom, Lisa Nevett, for joining us on this trip!
