On this #wellnesswednesday, we want to remind you to keep moving - even when indoors!
When the weather is cold, it can be challenging to even want to spend time outside. That is why it is important to look for innovative ways to keep moving, and keep your children off of the couch.
Here are some ideas we love:
-play hopscotch
-have an indoor scavenger hunt
-explore in play tents
-find a children's yoga program online
All of these ideas can be accomplished without needing extra space, and they are a great way to keep your kids moving! How do you encourage movement when its too cold to go outside?

"My name is Ashley Troyer and I am the Library Media Specialist. I have been in education for almost 3 years, and cannot imagine myself anywhere else. I am married and have 4 children, and have had the honor and privilege of being mom to several children through foster care. In my spare time I enjoy reading, family game night, family movie night, and traveling with my people."
"I teach because I understand the immense impact that educators have on the lives of our children - and I want to do my best to help the next generation grow to be kind, loving, empathetic, life-long learners. I teach because when I was a student, my librarian changed my life by introducing me to literature that I fell in love with - she was a light into my life at a very hard time. I want to be that for someone else."

1st graders love STEM days in the library!
As a part of their library rotations, 1st graders get to play with STEM bins after checking out. It's such a fun, hands-on way to keep 1st graders engaged and excited about coming to the library.

Mrs. Ramsey is at it again! She’s always looking for opportunities to shower our students with literacy enriching opportunities.
Through a partnership with the RCLC - the Rogers County Literacy Council - 2nd and 3rd grade students each received books to add to their shelves at home!
Edel Godwin, the Executive Director, was thrilled to be able to share these books with our students - which was all made possible through funding from the Sarkeys Foundation.
Thank you, Rogers County Literacy Council!

On this #wellnesswednesday, we want to stress the importance of keeping your children safe online.
There are several ways to accomplish this, but here are a few of our favorites:
1. Discuss internet safety with your children.
2. When children are on their devices, make sure they’re in an open room where they can be easily supervised.
3. Review games, apps, and any mobile sites before allowing your child to download them - or browse them.
4. Adjust privacy settings and parental controls. You are the frontline in keeping your child safe!

GT students did several experiments this week.
In this one, they learned WHY water will defy gravity and climb up some materials (a paper towel), but not others (plastic or metal): absorption, adhere/ adhesion, water molecules, porous material, microscopic, & cohesion.

Do you remember having a journal as an elementary student?
5th grade students take time to write in their journals every day - sometimes with a prompt and sometimes free writing, getting to put to paper whatever is on their mind.
Writing is such an important, foundational skill for elementary students, as it becomes more complex and inherent in schooling as students grow and mature.

As a part of their morning attendance routine, Pre-K students add their names to the "present" column, and then count together the number of students who are absent and the number who are present.
These students are learning great number sense!
