Our students love reading! There are lots of ways for them to get books this year, including a birthday book cart, "caught reading cards", using our new little free library on the playground and even earning a "golden token" to pick from our brand new book vending machine!
Friendship bracelets in 5th! This sweet class made bracelets that describe a good friend and then exchanged. Such a great way to start the school year!
So much fun from 4th grade! Last week they of 4th grade they celebrated the fourth day of fourth grade! We practiced trivia involving the number four, had a snack with four ingredients, played four corners and finished off with a four minute dance party!
This playground is awesome and kid approved! Hoping for some cooler weather this week so we can enjoy it more!
Welcome back assemblies this week! Our principals met with each grade levels to welcome them back and explain some expectations. Here they are showing our kids what kindness looks like!
