PBIS Role Models

Two students from each class were selected as our PBIS role models for the month of March. They were invited to make bird feeders which will hang on the trees around our school. These students are learning how important it is to care for the environment.

Shoe Drive

Mrs. Bobal/Mr. Edwards' first grade class learned about needs and wants in social studies. When they learned that some people cannot afford shoes, they decided to hold a shoe drive. The class collected 188 pairs of shoes to be donated to a local charity. Thank you for your generosity.

PARP Celebration

We celebrated the end of PARP (Parents As Reading Partners) with a performance by John Sawicki, a musician who has toured around the world in STOMP. Students learned about counting beats and making music by clapping, snapping and stomping their feet. Boys and girls had the opportunity to play the drums and perform on stage, too! Many thanks to the SM PTA for sponsoring this celebration. Keep reading and playing music!

Solids, Liquids and Gases at the Beach

Our science lab was transformed into a beach, by the kindergarten teachers, as an innovative way to teach about solids, liquids and gases. The children made observations and recorded their findings in a graphic organizer.

Hooray for Heroes

Last night, we held a fun and educational evening dedicated to real-life heroes and superheroes. Parents and children engaged in math and science activities, listened to stories, played in the Imagination Playground and created picture frames to hold their superhero photos.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Mrs. Jordan's first grade class welcomed Mrs. McGuire as a guest today, in honor of St. Patrick's Day. The class was treated to a musical performance by Mrs. McGuire and her daughter Molly, who is learning to play the accordion

Construction fun in PE

Mrs. Chanenchuk, our PE teacher, taught a construction unit in PE. The students had the opportunity to work collaboratively and be creative.

Magnetic Superhero Day

Kindergarten students learned about magnets, with a superhero theme, in the science lab today. Children sorted magnetic and non-magnetic objects, learned how magnets work through water, solved mazes and puzzles with magnets, and experimented on the iPads. The students rotated through the center activities and had a super magnetic day!
