Our 4th grade class's Unit of Study in reading had students researching a weather topic with a partner. Last week, the 4th grade students from Mrs. Carter's and Mrs. Holland's classes had the chance to share all that they have learned with their peers!
The students in first grade are busy writing reviews for their favorite reading book! We have some budding critics on our hands.

"Snow Excited" to share some of our participants in our January Family Challenge. Students were given a menu board of options to try new activities both indoors and outdoors. Throughout the month, students shared stories of their accomplishments and sent in pictures that are on display in our main hallway. Fan favorites were reading to a pet, creating snowflakes and playing a board game with a family member.

In math today, two students shared their strategies for using basic helper facts (x2, x5, x10) to help with unknown facts by adding a group to the class's pictures or arrays.

Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable long weekend. Mr. Nelson’s letter to us was a reminder that we all can play a role in carrying on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream. Just a reminder that students are learning remotely this week. Let’s all hope that the spread of this virus slows down.
As Mr. Nelson has reported, it is important that we follow CDC guidelines of wearing a mask that covers both the nose and mouth; wash our hands or use hand sanitizer; and social distance. Please notify our school nurse, Mrs. Boone, if anyone in your home tests positive or has been exposed to anyone who has tested positive.

Reminder: SNOW MUCH FUN IN JANUARY: Students have been asked to participate in our “SNOW MUCH FUN IN JANUARY” challenge.
