Swanson had the the exciting opportunity to host internationally renowned children's author and presenter, John Schu! on Tuesday, September 26th!  He presented about his new book This Is a Story. He has also written This is a School.  

Mr. Baker's Second Grade enjoyed their visit to the Nature Center for their Ecosystem Science Unit. They learned about pollinators and collected insects, fish and frogs from their walk at the Nature Center. They also made clothespin butterflies.  Click for more photos!

Swanson PTO sponsored a back to school outdoor movie night again this year. To help launch the school theme "How will you use your gift today?", Encanto was shown. 

The students in Mrs. Radtke's 4th grade class learned about what it means to have a growth mindset!  They worked together to solve clues in order to open locks on a "breakout box."  It took a lot of teamwork, and students put their growth mindset skills to the test when solving the clues was challenging, and the locks wouldn't open!  Luckily, they persevered and kept trying different things until they all successfully opened all of the locks and earned a prize!
