Week of September 16, 2019





Third Grade's creativity shines!

The Lower School participated in a fun and creative activity together.  After reading the book, Scribble Stones by Diane Alber, they each created their own Scribble Stone. The book emphasized the beauty of individual differences and the creativity in each person.  
The Scribble Stones will be placed around the classroom.

  

Community Time


Lower School and Middle School students gathered together for their first Community Time this year creating "All About Me" tessellations.  Mrs. Mueller will put the pieces together to create a huge school display.  The students enjoyed seeing their friends and working together.  
     

     

The finished product!

Third Grade has Chromebooks!

The class is very excited to have their very own Chromebooks.  Each student has his/her own Chromebook which will be used as a tool to enhance our Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies curriculum.  Their first assignment in Science was to use the web site, Creaturepedia, to research how animals adapt to their habitats.  

     

     

Character Counts!


Zora and Zayne are the first students to achieve  "Character Counts" awards.  Students achieve "tickets" for showing good character - Cooperation, Honesty, Self-Control, Respect, Perseverance, Responsibility, and Patience.  Once he/she receives five tickets, he/she can choose an award.  
Zora and Zayne both chose "Specialty Seating" and got to sit in their favorite chairs in their favorite locations for the day.  
Congratulations, Zora and Zayne!
