What do you call a pig that has a black belt in karate? A porkchop! Owen Knapick completed a research project for his 3rd Grade computer class. Students had to choose an animal and design a poster with facts about it. Owen chose to select the pig species as his animal. Ironically, March 1st is National Pig Day! To honor this incredible holiday, Owen presented his project to Mrs. Spotts’s 3rd Grade class and Ms. Joanna and Miss Sara’s Pre-K class. The classes had a PIG-tastic time learning all about pigs! 🐖🐷🐽

Mrs. Madden's class filled their classroom Kindness Tree by including another student in their puppet show! Way to go girls! Students were then able to put a big leaf on our elementary school's Kindness Tree sponsored by SCA C.A.R.E.S. Each leaf on the large tree represents a dollar towards a charity. This year's charity of choice was chosen by Mrs. Singley, with the funds going to St. Jude Children's Hospital at the end of the school year. Keep up the kindness G.C Hartman!
Kindergarten and 1st Grade Art students created this winter display with Mrs. Brown in Art class. Kindergartners cut shapes free-hand for their snowy houses and created patterns using color. First graders perfected their clay spheres and compared sizes while they explored the element of form. Students challenged themselves by cutting felt for the scarf, and they designed their snowman’s hat by mixing colors. Igloos were created using recycled clay buckets by a group of First Grade boys during their recess time!
Happy Thursday! We had a great day in first grade. It is jersey day tomorrow. Please remember it is also spirit week next week with special dress up days. Please let me know. Mrs. Gaul
