Today, FFA students from the secondary school set up a petting zoo for elementary students. Students enjoyed seeing and petting the animals and learning a little about farm life.

Master magician David Hagerman performed his science-based magical wizardry on this afternoon at the elementary! Huge thank you to the LCWM PTO for sponsoring this great show for our kiddos!!
Hagerman travels the US inspiring children to pursue futures with math and science through his edutainment magic show. His science and math-based shows make kids hungry for knowledge in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields.
“Technically, I’m a real modern-day wizard, using science and math to achieve illusions,” said Hagerman. “Through my spectacle and performance, my real goal is to wow and inspire kids to consider science and mathematics as a future. It can be hard to get kids excited about STEM fields today and considering that science and technology are our future right now, through wizardry, I am happy to show them the awe and wonder behind the science and math.”
Performing a full-fledged math show that incorporates magical elements, Hagerman demonstrates visual science that stands on its own without the help and support of magic. Cognizant of the fact that children’s attention is sparing and fleeting, Hagerman delves into the importance of entertainment for really piquing children’s interest.
“My show is designed to be one of the most entertaining live performances that students will ever see related to science and math,” said Hagerman. “By the end of the act, students will not even realize they have learned a considerable amount during their entertainment enjoyment. I look forward to sharing my performance art with the students at Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial District this month.”
Similar shows to Hagerman’s have demonstrated a 33% increase in test scores for the children attending the spectacle. (Science in the Movies). Known as the world’s most secretive magician, Hagerman works hard to protect magic’s secrets as the rise of smart devices and Internet tears down the mysticism behind the performance.

Thankfully the weather was a bit more favorable for our 1st and 2nd graders "Kids Heart Challenge"! Each student jumped at a variety of stations set up by Mrs. Graupman for an hour yesterday morning! Students have learned about having a healthy heart and have raised funds to help fight heart disease over the last few months!

First graders had a special visitor, the author of "The Kindness Booth," Laura Murray, late last week. During her visit, she read the story to them, then gave each student their own copy of the book! This was made possible by the Mankato Area United Way.
