Today in STEAM class, our 3rd graders were given a fun challenge: create a useful tool or toy using only the materials in their bag! Mrs. Lennon encouraged them to approach the activity with a true maker’s mindset. Working in groups, students brainstormed ideas, sketched their blueprints, and then got busy bringing their creations to life.
AHOY! In celebration of Talk Like a Pirate Day, me 5th grade hearties spent the day learning about pirates, doing pirate-themed activities, and getting “treasure”. Shiver me timbers! They went from landlubber to buccaneer without having to walk the plank!
Today in 2nd grade, the students took a journey back in time with the book When I Was Young in the Mountains by Cynthia Rylant. After reading the story, the students rolled up their sleeves and made butter just like they did back in the day!
What a fantastic time at our first Reading Buddies for the academic year! Our older students had a blast reading books with the younger kids, sparking joy and a love for reading. After our reading adventure, we all cooled off with some refreshing patriotic ice pops. It was a sweet way to end the school day with smiles, stories, and sweet treats!
What a fantastic time we had at the first Duck Toss Fundraiser for the Sophomore Class!
We had a blast tossing ducks and cheering each other on. Congratulations to Ms. Hughes for snagging the top prize—a $20 gift card! Your duck-tossing skills are truly unbeatable.
Thank you to all who participated and contributed! The next duck toss will be Friday, October 4th!
First Grade celebrated filling our Warm Fuzzy Jar by visiting Camp Read-a-Lot on Friday. We adopted stuffed woodland animals and read lots of stories to them! We “camped” in our classroom and had s’more pop tarts for our snack! It was a great day in first grade!
Our amazing grade school students did a fantastic job today practicing their bus drill! They learned how to safely get on and off the bus, and they showed off their best listening skills.
The Kindergarten class made tractor hats for the letter T! They will make a hat for every letter they learn.
The 7th grade ELA class practiced sorting evidence between three themes. They used their evidence gradient to sort the evidence for each theme from weakest to strongest.
The 6th grade class played games as a reward for working hard on Math and English skills all week! While playing games, they practiced critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. In addition, they are growing their social skills of conflict resolution and the complicated dynamics of winning or losing a game.
