Mrs. S. Nicholson’s SUPER FIRSTIES are serious about becoming SUPER readers this year. Some have already started reading 100 books for the Super Reader challenge. Everyone is so excited to complete this challenge and enjoy the Super Reader celebration in April! #read100books

After reading "A Squiggly Story" by Andrew Larsen, Mrs. Malone's kindergarten class created their own stories, complete with a front cover, drawings, and of course...squiggles! They also got to share them with the class! They were so proud of their work! What a fun writing activity that fit everyone's abilities and creativity :)





Mrs. Dillon's 3rd Graders practiced being scientists this week as they investigated the interaction of different solids with water. They then further studied the solids that dissolved and the next day tested to see if hot or cold water made them dissolve at a faster rate. The experiment worked and the honey, sugar, brown sugar, and salt all dissolved faster in the hot water. Science is so much fun!

3rd grade students in Mrs. Dillon's class had the chance to explore melodic patterns on the xylophones while with Mrs. Pratt this week! They used their musical detective skills to listen to a song, figure out the solfege, and then figure out which notes to play on the xylophone!

Students in Mrs. Beard’s class recently explored their math toolkits. Then they got to use the manipulatives in the kits to practice rolling dice, counting the dots, and writing numbers. We’re very excited to learn new math skills this year!

Mrs. Jenkins' class practiced the scientific method by doing a penny experiment. Students experimented to find out if water, water and soap, or salt and vinegar would clean a penny the best. The result…salt and vinegar!!
