Fall Acrostic Poems

A Petco Grant

Mrs. Austin was successful when she recently applied for a grant from Petco. Her project was approved and now the children in Mrs. Austin's second grade class are the owners of a leopard gecko. The students are researching how to take care of a gecko and finding information about a gecko's habitat. The students voted on a name for their class pet, Bling.  Mrs. Austin wrote the grant with the hope of instilling responsibility in her young students. The children will share their information about pet care with others in SSS when they create a bulletin board in the hallway.

Pinwheels for Peace

iPad Fun in Kindergarten

Mrs. Haas' kindergarten class learned how to scan a QR code with their iPads today, with the assistance of our library-media specialist, Ms. Urso. The children scanned the QR code, which led them to a website where there was a read-aloud of the book, The Crayon Box that Talked.
