We concluded our school food drive today with a total of 1,835 items to donate. Thanks so much to our student council for organizing, gathering and counting the cans. Our top 3 grade levels for the most contributions are 2nd, 4th and 6th grades. Congratulations!
Mr. Rigby’s class had a great time performing poems for our first-grade buddy readers!
In Miss McKendrick's class the last few weeks we have been learning about different ways creatures and tracks can be fossilized. One way is for a dinosaur to fall into a body of water and over time the bone cells are filled with mineral water. The minerals harden, the bone wastes away, and what is left is the fossil (hardened minerals/rock) in the exact same shape as the dinosaur from long ago. Our class demonstrated this by having the dinosaur bones (sponge) fall into the water (sodium silicate).
Had a good OLD time on the 100th day of school!
In 1st grade, we’ve been working all week on double-digit addition with regrouping. Today we got to have a monster truck “Demolition Derby” to practice everything we’ve learned. Various trucks faced off and after solving all the problems, the truck who regrouped the most moved on to the next round. We were so excited to work to find the ultimate champion!
Second grade students had their program this week! They took the audience on a ride through their science content by performing a Magic School Bus program. They enjoyed learning all of their songs and loved sharing their hard work with the rest of the school!
Mrs. Stewart’s class has been learning about adverbs. This week they were able to participate in a fun lesson where they played adverb charades. Each student picked a verb and an adverb and then acted it out for their group, who then had to guess what verb they were acting out and the adverb. They had so much fun trying to guess!
What a great bunch of students we have this week for our Go Getters! They have worked hard to be good citizens and classmates!
The sixth graders were rewarded for their awesome behavior throughout term 2 by playing some Minute to Win it games. They had to compete in games like bottle flipping, cup stacking and picking up pasta noodles with spaghetti! They had so much fun with this friendly competition, and got to release their energy through some fun games.
