Fourth and fifth grade students are learning, drawing, and laughing in Ms. Rozwadowski’s ESL classes. Whether studying manatees, monsters, or making New Year’s selfies, it’s fun to share what we know and keep building on that knowledge together.
Last night, three of our fantastic stallions competed in the county spelling bee! All three did an amazing job! Way to go!
If you thought that the 100th day was fun at Yowell, check out how 1st grade celebrated the 101st day of school! Thank goodness none of these cute pups ended up in Cruella's clutches.
We know the 100th day was yesterday, but we thought you would enjoy seeing more fun ways that our stallions celebrated! Check out these cuties from Mrs. Wensel's class! They made fruit loop necklaces, made pictures on a hundreds chart, and read a hundred day story! Stay tuned for pictures from the 101st day!
Students in Ms. Heaney's fourth grade reading class read a passage about blizzards and then did an interactive activity where they threw cottony soft snowballs around the room (zone A, B, C, D) to reflect their answer choices. The answers with the biggest snow pile were discussed first! ❄️ that was SNOW much fun!
Mrs. Vasil’s 2nd grade class has been learning about set fractions this week. They searched around the room to solve set fractions on their clipboards.
Mrs. Woods’ 2nd graders are learning fractions in math this week and working hard on fractions of a set.
1st grade students had music class all about snowmen last week! They sang “Once there was a Snowman” and even melted all over the music rug! Then they got to build their own snowman and name it!
Third grade students always have fun with creative and engaging learning activities. Recently, Mrs. Wheeler's students had the opportunity to show off their knowledge of related multiplication and division facts while creating a charming snowman. Depicted on the snowman's buttons are multiplication set models of the fact written on the scarf, with the complete set of related facts at the bottom.

All of our students have really been enjoying Mrs. Houck's gymnastics stations in PE. It is amazing how willing they are to try new things! Maybe some future Olympic gymnasts are among us! Keep having fun, stallions!
Mrs. Kearney's 2nd and 3rd graders are working hard in their UFLI class. Today we practiced spelling words by changing one letter at a time. The 2nd graders got to come up to the board and show the class how to spell each new word. 3rd Grade got to use their white boards to practice.
Mrs. Noel's reading students are working hard to spell words. This is a tough concept! It involves learning letter names and sounds (phoneme), then attaching them to the letter’s image (grapheme), and then they must learn to blend sounds into words. In this class we’re now building words with 4 and even 5 sounds. Students should feel proud of the work they’re doing!
Lots of fun things are happening in the art room this week! 1st grade students are using one of their favorite materials - paint sticks!

Yesterday in Ms.Walker’s reading class, the students learned about Holidays Around the World. The class read a book that explained a country and what holiday it celebrates during this time. Then the students made a Happy Holidays Tree.

They did ALL things Grinch today, learned about kindness and growing the Grinch’s heart, and wrote about what they would do to make the Grinch grin! They finished the day building a sleigh to carry presents up Mount Crumpit. What fun!
Last week, our 4th and 5th grade classroom winners competed in the Yowell Spelling Bee. The students competed in multiple rounds and you could tell all the hard work that they put in.
