Today we celebrated Homecoming week with Hat Day!
Today was "class colors" dress up day for Homecoming week. It was fun to find a "sea" of orange, red, and blue at lunchtime!
Students in Mrs. Groeneveld’s first grade class engaged in a hands on writing lesson using apples they picked on their field trip. The apples were yummy and their writing was sweet 🍎💙💛🐝
Popcorn Day‼️🍿
A huge thank you to our PTO and sponsors for making this monthly yummy treat possible. 😋
✏️ We are working on building writing stamina and adding details to pictures🖍️
2nd Option at both North and South Elementary Schools on Wednesday the 25th will be Nachos, Cheese & Salsa Fun Lunch and on Thursday the 26th it will be the Muffin, Yogurt & Cheese Fun Lunch.
Kindergartners practiced observing the world with "science eyes" by creating binoculars in STEAM lab. They are true scientists!
Today was a technology day for our class! We took our NWEA Language Arts Assessment in the computer lab this morning.
Every Friday after lunch we use educational apps on our classroom IPads! It is amazing how fast these little ones learn how to log on & use this interesting & fun technology. I'm so proud of how careful & responsible these students are with their IPads! Way to go kindergarten kiddos!

We made our own Classroom Constitution too.
First graders created moving models to demonstrate how Earth's rotation creates days and nights using legos, cubelets robots, and flashlights. Great fun in STEAM lab!
Mrs. Groeneveld's students learned about The Pledge of Allegiance. Students learned new vocabulary words: allegiance, republic, indivisible, liberty and justice.
They also made their own American flag using just their hands and a glue stick!

Second graders were inspired to create smelling tools after reading the book Ada Twist, Scientist. Once their tools were made, these young scientists used them to sniff and identify six different smelly jars!
We had so much fun during our library visit today! Ms. Peggy helped students choose a library book to borrow. Ms. Peggy spoke with students about book care: no liquids around books, no writing on books, and store your library book in your backpack! Books need to be returned before Wednesday each week. Thank you Ms. Peggy for making our library time special!
Second grade students enjoyed book shopping to fill their independent reading book bins this week! They chose books that captured their interest and books that match their reading ability.
Mrs. Whitford's students read the story A Box Can Be Many Things and then used their STEAM skills to turn tissue boxes into rockets, purses, cars, animals, and more!
Enjoy your 4-day weekend! We will see everyone on Tuesday!
Mrs. Napieralski visited Mrs. Hessbrook's classroom to read a counting book and play a game with them. The rest of the group made surrounding patterns. 🔺🔹🔸
