After reading the story “The Moon Over Star”, students in Mrs. Schackmann’s 4th grade class created models of the moon phases using Oreos. Not only was this educational, but delicious too. Mrs. Schackmann was assisted by Ms. Flood, a practicum student from EIU.

Olivia's artwork was selected as one of the 100 finalists for Picture the Music this year! There were thousands of entries and Olivia represented Teutopolis Grade School very well.
