Building for Kids

Here are some fun pictures from our field trip yesterday. :) 

ALICE Training for Kids

Today during guidance Mrs. Johnson and Officer Angel talked with the kids about what to do at school if a "dangerous someone" was to enter our school. They learned to be Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter,  and Evacuate. The book did a good job teaching the kids what to do in a kid friendly manner. I have a copy of the book in my classroom if you want to borrow it to read at home. We will be doing a drill in the Spring.

Fuel Up to Play 60 - Taste Testing

As a part of the Fuel Up to Play 60 activities that we do at school this week we got to do a taste testing of a fruit and yogurt parfait. Some of the kiddos at our school submitted a recipe for a contest and WON! As a result we all got to try their recipe. :)

March is Reading Month

This month there will be many fun activities planned for you at home and here at school. On Tuesday a calendar of events went home with lots of reading related activities. Do as many as you can and return the calendar for a prize! Your child can also color each box if we do the activity here at school. So far we have read Dr. Seuss books and read spooky books. We also got to meet Elephant and Piggie on Wednesday. Today we are working on decorating our door for the door decorating contest. See pics below from our week!

  

Artist in Residence

This week on Monday we had a special art class. We have two local artists in to help the kids create their very own cardboard creations. The kids had a great time and used their imaginations to create awesome art. They will be coming home soon!
