Fourth grade students are enjoying exploring the wonders of our natural world! We are making observations about the differences between pinecones before and after they were exposed to water. Students are learning how to differentiate between the structures and functions of plants and animals.

5th grade has been studying, "The Road to Revolution."  As part of this study, we began enacting the acts, starting with the Stamp Act. We discussed the reasons King George enacted the acts and did a simulation in which every piece of paper required a stamp.  Students had to pay for and attach stamps to every paper they turned in.  One morning some students came to school with protest signs against the stamp act! It was quite fun to see them so invested in this activity and their understanding of the difficulties it may have caused the colonists.

Kindergarten is learning letter names and sounds in reading with our amazing intervention technicians. 

We have been having a great time in PE. We’ve been focusing on throwing skills, Rhythm and the importance of team work. We have had a blast playing star wars dodgeball (always a favorite game) we worked on rhythm and movement by doing a drums alive type activity. And a fun game of jungle cruise that emphasizes the importance of team work. I really try to make PE a fun class with an activity that the kids enjoy, laugh and have fun doing without really realizing they’re learning an important skill and exercising at the same time.
