• Repaired two of Powell’s brass instruments for band

• Two trail cams: These are used in the 3-5 Nature Play domain. In this domain, one of the things they do is study and maintain Powell’s flock of chickens. They learn about their life cycle, the parts of a chicken and their purpose. They study the different breeds that Powell has and how they differ. They make animal observations to study their behaviors. The trail cams are located in the two chicken coops allowing students to observe the chickens’ night behaviors.

• Digital piano: This will be used for all students in K-5. You can catch it in action at the Powell musical!
