Ever wonder what our 4K Bulldogs are up to during wrap-around care?
Along with plenty of learning through play, students also enjoy hands-on projects that connect to what they’re discovering in class with Mrs. Menke and Mrs. Manning. This week, Ms. Betsy brought science to life! Using vinegar, baking soda, and a splash of food coloring (for extra excitement!) students created a chemical reaction that inflated gloves… and even launched a few nearly to the ceiling!
The excitement was contagious, and of course they had to test it again… and again! At Ithaca, curiosity, laughter, and learning go hand in hand, every single day.

Mr. Nee’s Life Skills Shop class has been working hard on their Mega Jenga set!
Over the past couple of weeks, they’ve learned about woodworking hand tools and their safe, correct use. Students used hand saws to carefully craft each block by hand.
Today, we celebrated all that hard work by playing with our finished Mega Jenga game!
