Our Neighborhood


In our social studies unit, we are learning about our neighborhood and our community. As a family homework assignment, students were asked to design a building that they know of in their community. Here are some of the very creative ideas that were brought in:























 
Here we are going around and looking at each other’s projects:



Poetry Reading


The students LOVE reading their favorite poems to their classmates. Often, we get into partners and present our favorite poem to our friends!






Read Across America


On March 1st, it was Read Across America day! We celebrated by reading all day on the floor and by taking multiple AR tests! Great job friends!











We have a NEW lunch time!


Hello Parents,

Kindergarten has started their new lunch time in the main cafeteria this week. From now until the end of school, we will be eating inside the main building from 10:20-10:55 a.m. We are sharing the cafeteria with all of K-3rd grade.

Due to the mass increase of the amount of students eating lunch together, it is very important for you to send your child with a lunch they can eat ALL ON THEIR OWN. We will not heat up any lunches for any student. If the food has to be heated in order to be eaten, you should not send the food in with your child.


Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in the matter.


DO NOT send in anything that needs to be microwaved!



DO send in a lunch where everything is ready for your child to eat!

Wild Weather Unit


First we started out Wild Weather Unit by learning all about clouds. Our first project was to make a cloud flip book.





 
 
 

We then went outside one afternoon to cloud gaze. We were looking at all the different shapes the clouds could be in the sky. Once we found our inspiration, we came back inside to make and write about our cloud shape.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

After we learned about clouds, we started on the water cycle. Below are pictures of our science experiments that we did in class to help us better understand the water cycle!
 





 
 
The last thing we talked about was the wind. We made our own wind socks and went outside to see what the wind would do to our project!
