Art Discovery



Today our wonderful Art Discovery volunteer came in and shared our first Art Discovery lesson for the year.  The students were thrilled as you can see!  This year we will be studying Modern Art.  Today we learned about Surrealism and we studied some of the artwork of Salvador Dali.  The students created their own Dali inspired artwork while getting into true Dali character.  :)

A Visiting Expert



On Friday we had the remarkable pleasure of having Mr. Rigby, a guest teacher in our district, come in and talk with the students about his rock, mineral, and fossil collections.  The students had a wonderful time listening to tales of Mr. Rigby's adventures and connecting his experiences to our study of rocks and minerals in the classroom.  Each child was fortunate enough to go home with a shark's tooth, which Mr. Rigby collected in Florida.

New Lunch Time

Starting today, our 4th graders will be eating at a new, later lunch time.  This will allow the students in our 4/5 combination classroom to eat and have recess with their grade level peers.  We are all really excited that Mr. Ross was able to make this work for our students.  Due to the later lunch time, we will be building in a snack time during our morning.  Please send a healthy snack with your child each day to help them sustain energy during their busy morning.  Thank you!

We were Geologists Today!



Today our students had the opportunity to be geologists as they studied their mock rocks.  Students used geologists' picks to break apart their rocks on a quest to determine the ingredients of their mock rocks.

Box Tops!

Congratulations!!!!!  Our class had the highest number of Box Tops turned in from our school this month.  Our class turned in a grand total of 826 box tops, this month alone!!!!  Thank you so much for all of your effort, collecting, and sharing the word to other collectors.  Keep up the great work!  This is a great way to raise money for our school.  :)
