Thank you to our parent volunteers that made our ice cream day a success!
LUCKY to be ME! The rainbows around our school represent all of the positive self talk we’ve focused on over the last two weeks. These are constant reminders about how much we shine. We are LOVED!
Our amazing students earned over $7,000 during our Read-A-Thon! As a reward they got to turn Principal Jerr and Assistant Principal Keough into ice cream sundaes. Yum!
What's an IXL smart score?
Fun in Kindergarten!
World Down Syndrome Day is marked each year on March 21st, beginning in 2006. The 21st day of March was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which causes down syndrome. One way to help bring awareness on this day is to wear some crazy socks! The reasoning behind the socks is because chromosomes look a bit like socks.
Here are some versions of Rattlin' Bog that have been posted in the music classroom websites for each grade:

In 5th Grade we have started Composer March Madness!
Each class, students will click the link to CMM on the Fifth Grade music website:

To be able to learn about different composers from music history. Each composer has a page with a short biography and some selections from their music to listen to. Students can be surprised at which composers they are already familiar with. This week, we started with one half of the Sweet Sixteen... and students voted for their preferred composer of each pair.
Who did your student prefer? Why? Do you know any of these composers? Stay tuned to see who makes it through to the Elite Eight!
Thank you Wildlife Encounters for the visit today! First grade had a WILD time learning about animals!
Coding fun in Technology with Dash! Students had to build a plow out of legos that was strong enough to push a solo cup.
Did you know students in grades 2-5 have a custom study plan in IXL that is linked to their winter NWEA assessment? Ask your student to show you what they are learning on IXL and take advantage of IXL from home to support learning at school!
