Kindergarten Readiness
Kindergarten
Second Grade
2nd graders have started working on measuring! We also had a few students read from the Authors Chair and shared what they learned about Early Asian Civilization.
Third Grade
3rd graders have spent some time in math class learning about square tiles. They were able to use the squares on the classroom floor to practice measuring some shapes.
Fourth Grade
4th graders enjoyed pantomiming the Battle of Yarmouk between the Byzantine Empire and the Muslims. Want to know more about the Battle of Yarmouk, find a 4th grader and ask them!
First Grade
In our Knowledge Unit 2 1st graders learn about the systems in our body. In each story students learned the importance of that system and what organs help it do its job. To review and test our skills students worked in groups to build the systems and label the major organs.
3 yr old Preschool
3 year old preschool enjoyed our visits from FireFighter Don and the Naturalist. Firefighter Don taught us many important fire safety rules, showed us some tools firefighters use, and gave us a tour of his fire truck. The Naturalist taught us about a few nocturnal animals. She even brought in some of the animals for us to see and touch. We learned how these animals use their senses at night.
