(10/2) After completing a unit on weather and natural disasters students in Ms. Spicer's room did a great job making a visual model of a natural disaster: hurricanes (not pictured Brooklyn Miller) , tornadoes, a tsunami, a volcano (not pictured Garrett Boyett) and a blizzard .

(10/2) Congratulations to the following students for receiving positive office referrals. Keep up the good work!

(10/2) Mrs. Hodum's 4th graders reviewed bioluminescence in a fun, hands-on way while preparing for their benchmark! They practiced collaboration, teamwork, and test-taking skills—all while learning and having a little glow in the dark fun!

(10/2) To review for upcoming benchmarks, Mrs. Roe’s students are diving into the science of bioluminescence! After watching videos about this fascinating topic, students are practicing using text evidence and reviewing important informational text skills.
And the best part? They’re using their answers to crack a secret code!
Learning is definitely glowing in Mrs. Roe’s classroom!

(10/2) Mark your calendars!! Our annual Book or Treat is coming soon! On Monday, October 26th from 4:00-6:00pm, we will have family night at the book fair.

Way to go, Peer Helpers! Keep being the good, showing the way, and lending a hand!

(10/1) This week, Mrs. Hodum's class worked with partners to learn about different natural disasters, like hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes. Then, they formed new groups and completed a jigsaw activity, becoming the “experts” on the topics and teaching classmates what they learned! The classroom was full of collaboration, communication, teamwork, and FUN! They learned that when they work together, everyone has something important to contribute.

Mrs. Chrestman’s third and fourth grade students have been learning about Hispanic Heritage Month, an annual celebration recognizing the rich history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States. It began on September 15th and ends on October 16th.
As part of their learning, students participated in a scavenger hunt featuring interesting facts about the many ways Hispanic culture has influenced our country. They discovered that Hispanic history in what is now the United States dates back centuries (long before the establishment of the United States government) and explored the lasting influence of Hispanic culture on areas such as language, food, music, art, and traditions.
Students also researched and created biographical posters highlighting famous Hispanic Americans and their accomplishments. They shared their posters and what they learned with their classmates, giving everyone an opportunity to learn about the remarkable contributions of Hispanic Americans throughout history.
