Yesterday students in Ms Maltby's 2nd grade class completed a toothpaste activity. Students learned the importance of kindness and that once words are spoken they are hard to take back.






Students in Mrs. Noser's 2nd grade class squeezed toothpaste onto some paper plates. As a team, they then tried to put the toothpaste back into the tube using only toothpicks. This SEL lesson teaches students that: once you say unkind words it’s hard to take them back.






Mrs. Stennett's class read the story Too Tall Houses and decided to take on the challenge! Students went to work with nothing but index cards and tape. They found their grit as towers toppled over falling flat. After trying new idea after new idea we came out with a winning 1.5 ft tall tower! What a fun way to make a book come alive!








Students in Mrs Wolfe's third grade class participated in a "Getting to Know You" scavenger hunt. The kids found others with common "favorite things" as a way to make new friends.






Students in Mrs. Noser's room participated in a team building challenge called Save Fred. They had a great time and all groups were successful!

4th and 5th grade students began practicing for their Battle of the Books (BOB for short) tournament during their lunch hour. BOB will officially kick off next week.
Each group of 4-5 students were assigned books to read, and then will be asked questions from their books that they will have to answer correctly for points. This extra preparation makes students feel more confident when the real tournament begins!
