Teamwork makes the dream work! Mrs. Huss' class worked together to sort cause and effect after reading “Clark the Shark” .

Mrs. Cleveland's class played the card game war to practice comparing numbers. The player with the most dots on their card got to keep both cards. They played until someone ends up with all the cards. Playing with a purpose helps us learn!

Mrs Cobb’s ELA classes got a library refresh on Friday with some library mapping! After the activity, they checked out their first library books of the school year.

Mrs. Huss' students are making connections and building a classroom community this week with a special "Getting to Know You" activity.

This first week has been fabulous for the fourth graders in Ms. Mata's class!

Flying high on the first day in Mrs. Bradley's class! 🦋 They read the book, "Butterflies on the First Day of School". They learned meeting new people and telling them about ourselves helps get rid of our “butterflies” and make new friends. To help conquer those first day flutters, they colored pictures of themselves. Then wrote and shared things about themselves and others. 🦋
