Kindergarteners had a blast learning about Native Americans.  They made their own beads, ground corn, ate cornbread, shot bows and arrows.   This is one of their favorite days.

Mrs. Graves, class celebrated before the Thanksgiving break. First, the students had a blast Playing Turkey Charades to get prepared for all of the turkey and festivities!

They had a turkey gobbling contest. Caroline was our officially turkey gobbler award winner. We did our voting “The Voice” style.

And finally, on Tuesday they had to say goodbye to Mrs. Bird. She was our much loved student teacher, Mrs. Bird’s, last day. We will miss her like crazy!  We wish her the best of luck and know that wherever she lands, she will be an amazing teacher! Good luck, Mrs. Bird.

Our class earned a Read-a-thon day! We brought our favorite books, blankets and pillows.  We also wore our pajamas. We had a great day diving into our books!

Mrs.  Hall's class had some visitors before Thankgiving. Their bus driver, Tony, and his wife Carol came to our classroom to play some country songs! Their group is called Many Strings. The kids loved it!

To celebrate Thanksgiving, Mrs Jorgensen’s class made placemats. The students were excited when they got to use them to eat their lunch.

In Social Studies, the fifth graders have been learning about the Constitution and the symbols of America.  We decided to combine the two and create an art project. With the help from our GAINS art specialist, Mrs. Christine Palmer, we took a copy of the Constitution and drew a symbol as a background.  Some of the symbols that we talked about were the Statue of Liberty, the American Flag, Uncle Sam, the Bald Eagle, and the Liberty Bell. The student sketched out the symbol of their choice then they used a sharpie to outline their shape.

During this week of celebration 4th graders continue to learn more about the Native Americans. We spent some time with GAINS specialist, Christine Palmer, learning about totem poles in the Pacific Northwest. Students spent time researching some of the sacred and symbolic carvings found on these wooden masterpieces. Based on their research they then chose and created their own totem pole to represented their family.

Students in Miss White’s class celebrated National Kindness Day with an art lesson from Ms Palmer our district arts specialist. They listened to the story The Little White Owl, discussed what it means to be a friend, and created their own unique Owls using oil pastels.
