SENIOR SPOTLIGHT Justin Thiel!

Kindergarten worked hard leading up to Saint Patrick’s day creating leprechaun traps! We knew that the leprechaun would be around on March 17 so we worked together to come up with traps. Unfortunately that leprechaun got through the traps and even ate the bait (lucky charms cereal) we set out for him. But he wrote us a long letter and even gave us some chocolates. Now we are writing all about him. We created "wanted" posters, made a craft explaining what we would do with his gold, and gave our opinions on if we think he is nice or sneaky. Fun times in March!

Yearbook orders are due by May 15th.

Way to go Charlie! He has made it in the sight word club for the second time for being able to write 100 sight words!

Teachers, In solidarity of supporting public schools in Ohio, schools across Ohio are wearing red shirts and jeans tomorrow. If you wear red, you may also wear jeans as well.

Congratulations Xander!

This Friday! Hope to see you there!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT Bekah Allen!

Have a great Monday!

This week Ms. DeLong's class learned about alliterations. They practiced writing alliterations by creating crazy ice cream flavors. They ended the week by trying out some unusual ice cream and writing about their favorites!

Last week Ms. DeLong's class practiced "digging up inferences." They read the story Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, made a shovel craft, and wrote their inferences. Then they were able to dig up their own special gems.

Preschool this week had fun practicing our writing by using shaving cream! We practiced writing our letters and drawing "Mat Man". They had a blast!

Liam Baier is the first 5th grader this year to complete his 40 Book Challenge. 5th Graders are encouraged to read 40 books over the school year to widen their knowledge of genre when choosing books. Great job, Liam!
