Preschoolers have been working hard on our "friendship skills" this month! We have been talking about how to be a good friend and how to take turns/share toys with our friends. We have also been talking about our emotions and what the different emotions look like and what we can do when we get frustrated or angry.
We celebrated 100 days of school! This year we choose to rise each day and enjoy the ride!
Our students are amazing! We are learning how to code in Computers. I have watched them grow into programmers as they use their problem solving skills to understand and write a code sequence and then test their code. Some of the students have excelled in coding.
First grade was thrilled to go to Scera Theater to see Rapunzel!
What better way is there to learn about dental health than rappin' with marionettes? First Grade was thrilled to have these special visitors!
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.
