Mrs. Hanhart’s 2nd grade classroom at Shabbona was invaded by spiders. Students spent the entire day immersed in a web of learning; everything from math to reading to science, social studies and art! Even their snack was spider focused! A special guest, Jon Toepper, brought in 2 of his pet tarantulas and taught all about them. The students were fascinated and actually several students changed their opinion about spiders by the end of the day, from creepy to cool!
Mrs. Renchen's class at Shabbona had a "Marathon Day" today. They learned about the history of the marathon and watched some interesting videos about the route of the Chicago Marathon. We would like to wish Mrs. Renchen good luck in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday!

The Shabbona Bears tried their bear-y best for the month of September, and it was appreciated. Our Student Stars of the Month include Sofia Moreno-Rosas and Peter Manes! These Bears always give their best effort, and it shows! Sofia wants to change the world by following the three R's: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Peter wants to change the world with lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Our Staff Star is the wonderful Sharon Gero, who helps keep our students fed! With her on the job, the only roar you hear is from our students' mouths, not their stomachs!
