Mrs. Harrison's 4th graders had the chance to participate in a fun activity to brush up on their math skills in a "Find Someone Who" game. On the game board, students had to find someone in their classroom who can...
-skip count by 5's to 100
-has hair that is at least 5" long
-has read 15 or more books over the summer
-etc.
This activity was a fun way for students to get up on their feet and get to know each other a little better!

On this #wellnesswedensday, and Arts In Education Week, we want to share the importance to the arts in education.
Did you know??
"Studying the arts also helps improve academic performance, not just through creativity, but it improves learning in areas like math and science as well as the literary field. Art education also fosters collaboration and group learning."

Every student learns best in different ways - some through hearing, some through seeing, some through doing, and many, a combination of the three.
Mrs. Peck teaches spelling words to her students and during the lesson, they are able to HEAR, SEE, and WRITE the word, giving each student the ability to learn in the way that works best for them.

Way to go, Jaden and Addison!

Pre-K loves centers!
Did you know that centers can help Pre-K students grow socially while also becoming more self-aware? The time that students spend in centers increases time management skills, regulation skills and even helps students to identify their own interests.

3rd grade students in Mrs. Millsap's class are working on growth mindset - curating the ability to push past failures and continue making progress.
Mrs. Millsap read The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires and tasked students with building a free-standing tower that can support a bucket using only straws, a cup, yarn, tape and scissors. The bucket must be suspended and be able to hold weight.
Students used their critical thinking skills to plan out their design and then brought their designs to life and tested their weight bearing ability.

In an introduction to Growth Mindset - the belief that with work, your skills can improve over time - 2nd graders in Mrs. Johnston's class read The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes and then worked together in pairs on a STEM activity.
For this STEM activity, students were challenged to design and build a broom and dustpan - using only construction paper and tape - to clean up the mistakes we all inevitably make.
