Mrs. Collins' second grade class read Hollywood Chicken this week. They practiced vocabulary by finding synonyms and using them in a sentence. Mrs. Collins gave each student a special rainbow pen as a gift! Students used these to illustrate what each vocabulary word meant. What a great way to make challenging tasks fun!

RUNNING CLUB UPDATE
Coach Faulconer introduced fifth grade students to Fruit Loop tag. Players kick the hula hoop and try to avoid getting hit with the “fruit loop”. If you get hit, you go directly to the cereal bowl to do warm-up exercises like crunches and sit-ups. These Westies love the competition and good workout.
