Ms. Queenan and Ms. Pfiffner's class were super cozy! Students embraced the theme of not letting others judge you and believe. They look like they had fun and got the message!
Students in Ms. Wrobel's Kindergarten room participated in a "mystery reader". A parent reads to the students via zoom and the students don't know who the parent will be. They were so excited! We love incorporating parents into our day, even if they can't be in the building.
We had 2 busy days before Winter Break. Students in Ms. Green's Second Grade Class did an ornament/gift painting craft to give to their loved ones.
We had 2 busy days right before Winter Break. Students in Ms. Joudeh's K room learned the importance of playing board games at home. Board Games are so important in developing executive functioning: organization, sequencing, prioritization, etc.
Ms. Joudeh is our most veteran Kinder teacher. She often takes a leadership role in planning activities & curriculum. Today, her class was working on #5. Students write the number 5, tally it, use ten frames, draw pictures, identify the number by circling it, & so much more!
Mrs. Walkosz uses her talents in sewing to help out a student's ripped winter hat. She is a jack of all trades and we are lucky to have her in third grade!
In addition to Ms. Walkosz's many talents, she is also a Safety Master! 3rd grade students were reviewing hallway protocols so that there is no disruption to learning in the classroom. Students also get reminders because of Covid. Thank you, Ms. Walkosz!
Ms. Wrobel's Kindergarten Class can multi-task! Students were singing "Count to 100" today while doing their morning work. Talk about talent! What a great way to get the day started. It definitely pumped me up!

Ms. Svec's class had so much fun making these turkeys before Fall Break! Students were so creative in "hiding" their turkey. We missed seeing student artwork in the halls during the pandemic. It's so heartwarming!
Ms. Hussein's class is working hard at math centers. Students have a variety of activities to keep themselves busy and learning math in different ways!

Students in our Art Club made cards for residents at an assisted living facility. Winter months can be so hard and we love having our students participate in service learning projects. Thank you, Ms. Krull for setting up this opportunity!

Ms. Green's Reading WIN group are working hard in centers. Students worked on prefixes, capitalization, and commas.
Officer Bill went into two 1st grade classrooms last week to award some special coupons and talk about good character. Two students were caught doing something good. They returned a stack of coupons that weren't theirs. Great job and thank you, Officer Bill!
Ms. Ames works hard to facilitate her center group! These math extra ordinaires are learning about decimals and working so hard! Great job!
Students in Ms. Svec's class were learning the different tools in SeeSaw through their IT time with Ms. Wyatt! Students read the book "Fall is Not Easy" and do a correlating activity to learn the tools so they can begin using SeeSaw on a regular basis.
Ms. Cockrell's class does not waste a minute of learning time. While students are waiting for the next P.E. switch, Ms. Cockrell reviews Fundations letters and sounds as well as math problems. We have them posted by the gym doors for teachers. Every minute of learning counts!
Ms. Rangel is doing student conferencing with her students today about their progress on Dreambox! Ms. Rangel goes over lessons/standards completed as well as areas of focus. We use Dreambox to drive our instruction to tell us what the kids know and what they are ready to learn.
