Sound Wall

In speech, we reference our sound wall a lot as students learn how to make different sounds. Each sound has a name and an action to help students remember it better. The speech teachers use the names and actions frequently to cue students, and students use them to cue themselves as well.

4th and 1st Grade Buddies

Submitted by megan.oropeza on Mon, 03/13/2023 - 08:37

Fourth Graders are currently working on a project for a 1st-grade buddy. They have interviewed their buddy to find out some of their favorite things and then will complete a writing assignment to create a surprise to give to their new 1st-grade friend. It was fun to see the smiles on each face as they got to know each other!

Landforms and Water

Submitted by megan.oropeza on Tue, 03/07/2023 - 10:37

2nd grade is working on learning about landforms and water. Along with this, we are learning about quick and slow earth changes. Last week we learned about quick changes, like earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and landslide. We are now focusing on slow changes due to weathering and erosion. To do this we used a hard cookie and slowly dropped water on the cookie. We observed the changes over time. This symbolizes weathering over hundreds, thousands, and even millions of years!

Second grade had so many fun ways to celebrate Dr Seuss’ birthday! One of their favorites was having a read-a-thon and getting to snuggle up with a good book!!
